Trapping has severely reduced the population of rabbits in an ecosystem, as shown in the bar graph below. What is the most likely effect this will have on other organisms?

a.
The snake population will decrease rapidly and the grass population will increase rapidly.
b.
The hawk population will increase rapidly and the rabbit population will decrease rapidly.
c.
The grass population will decrease rapidly, and the snake population will increase rapidly.
d.
The grass, rabbit, snake, and hawk populations will all decrease rapidly.

The correct option is (a)The snake population will decrease rapidly and the grass population will increase rapidly due to the reduced population of rabbits in an ecosystem.

what is a food chain?

A food chain is a group of organisms that are connected in a single direction and through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism feeds another. The term "trophic level" refers to each level of the food chain. In certain cases, detrivores or decomposers are also included in the sequence of organisms that begin with producers and end with consumers.

A decline in one population will have an impact on an organism at a different trophic level of the terrestrial food chain, which is as follows: grass → rabbit → snake → Hawk

Because snakes rely on rabbits for food, a decline in the rabbit population will result in a decline in snake numbers. Since rabbits consume grass, the decline in rabbit populations will result in more grass.

Therefore, If the trapping is successful, the decline in snakes and the quantity of grass will allow the rabbit population to rebound, and eventually, the ecosystem's balance will be restored.
