Question
CBSEENBI12002443

The following graph depicts changes in two populations (A and B) of herbivores in a grassy field A possible reason for these changes is that:

  • both plant populations in this habitat decreased

  • population B competed more successfully for food than population A

  • population A produced more offspring than population B

  • population A consumed the members of population B

Solution

B.

population B competed more successfully for food than population A

The individuals of population-B have increased because they have adapted better to their environment then population-A.
Population-B had proved to be superiority adopted for survival and attainment of resources like food, water, shelter etc. leading to an increase in their number by outgrowing the offsprings, as compared to those of population-A.
