Answer: d. Predators avoid prey that are in their prime in order to maintain a high reproductive rate in the prey population, and hence 'grow' prey for the future.
Explanation:
A predator can be define as an organism superior and strong enough to kill inferior and weaker organism. This organism kill other organism to obtain it as food. A prey is an organism which is weak and cannot defend itself from the attack of the superior organism.
d. is the correct option. This is because the predators do not bother about the age and strength of the prey. They attack over them whether the prey is weak , young, prime, or old and try to obtain it as food.
In this question, there are no options given to choose from. So i would answer this question based on my knowledge. The most likely cause of the observed variation is adaptation and evolution. The birds of that island adapted to the food source and then they evolved as per the requirement of the place and food source.
