Answer:The carrying capacity will decrease and the owl population will decrease.

Explanation:

Carrying Capacity refers to maximum number of specific species' populatuon that a particular habitat can accomodate in an area at a given span of time if it is not altered or destroyed.

Things that can have a negative impact on the carrying capacity are diseases, predators , pollution , human development projects and other factors that will alter or destroy a habitat.

When a housing development project begins the forests will be cleared out , deforestation will take place as part of the forest is removed the habitat is altered or hampered with which means it no longer cover the same extent of an areas it covered before , the lesser available area the smaller the habitat and lesser the owls that will be accommodated and the likely that they will have to leave this habitat. It is likely that some owls next with unhatched eggs will also be destroyed hence resulting to a decrease of owls.

Answer:

(a)-classical conditioning          

Explanation:

Classical Conditioning: Classical conditioning is widely used in psychology.

The term is given by a Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov after he demonstrated his experiment on dogs. He believed that any behavior is being learned through the frequent or repetitive association between the stimulus and the response. It stresses that learning can be produced through the environment.

Ivan Pavlov defines classical conditioning as a form of learning in which a conditioned stimulus gets associated with an unconditioned stimulus to produce a desirable conditioned response which was a neutral stimulus at earliest.

Components of Classical Conditioning:

1. Unconditioned stimulus or US.

2. Unconditioned response or UR.

3. Conditioned stimulus or UR.

4. Conditioned response or CR.

The girl tried to search for the old man who helped her, but she didn’t remember his look due to the heavy rain. She was roaming the streets with the umbrella, given by the old man, when she heard an old woman shouting.

"Thief! Catch him! He stole my purse!"

The thief was running towards her. Guided by her insincts, she hit the thief with her umbrella, which caught him off guard and allowed his capture. However, the umbrella gifted to her by the old man got broken. The girl frowned as the old woman she helped approached to thank her. The old woman saw a shimmering in the girl's eyes, as if she was holding back tears, and she followed the girl's gaze to the bent umbrella in her hands.

Seeing this the old woman spoke with a soft, compassionate tone, “Don’t worry little girl. I will mend this umbrella and return it to you."

"No thank you." The girl sighed softly, "If I may, I request that you should mend the umbrella and help someone else who needs it, should the occasion arise." She gave the old woman a smile and handed it to her.

The old woman mended that umbrella and always carried it with her, just in case.
