Answer: Increase in species numbers and diversity
Explanation:
Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomena in which the water from the bottom layers of the ocean usually above the seafloor get displaced and reach upto the surface layers with the effect of wind currents. The water carries away along with it the nutrients and the organic matter to the surface layers which allows the efficient growth of plant and planktonic diversity which favors the growth of sea animals like fishes and others. Hence, by this way the species diversity and numbers increases by the process of upwelling.
An hypothesis is a possible explanation for a set of observations or answer to a scientific question. A supposition or proposed explanation made on the
basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further
investigation.
And practically, an hypothesis is used as the basis for further experiments, where the hypothesis is rigorously tested under varying conditions. The hypothesis that is tested and modified under different conditions may become a general
theory
.The hypothesis that has the least number of variables sufficient to explain the phenomenon is preferred.
Prey or predation is a biological interaction where a predator (an organism, often an animal) kills and eats its prey (another organism).
Like a mouse getting caught and eaten by a bird of prey (Eagles, hawks, etc.)
D is the best answer
(I am just using my common sense)
Hope I helped :)
