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.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The best response of the options provided is Option B: Conflict theory.

Explanation:

The best choice of the options provided is conflict theory because conflict theorists take a critical stance toward existing social arrangements like the way that illness is defined. This can affect the access that people without power have to services or to livelihood, if the way that the powerful define illness works to their disadvantage in some way. An example would be denying someone disability status because their condition is not recognized as an illness that can affect productivity. This could make it so the person who is less powerful has to continue working despite their illness or disability and it may deny them benefits.

It is the development of urban areas, which prompted proto-communism where individuals could take up different occupations and be totally certain that you wouldn't starve. The outcome of proto-communism is that it causes the individuals who do nothing to get wealthier, and the individuals who do relentless work to end up plainly poorer; at the end of the day, it expanded the contrast between social classes.
