Answer:
<u>C</u>
Explanation:
The reason why there are more hares than foxes in the ecosystem is because if only 10% of the energy gets passed on to the next trophic level, then you need to have more lower level animals available to supports the animals higher up the food chain. The fox must eat several hares to gain enough energy for growth and development.
<span>Peter Raymond Grant, FRS, FRSC, and Barbara Rosemary Grant, FRS, FRSC, are a British couple who are evolutionary biologists at Princeton University. Each currently holds the position of emeritus professor. They are known for their work with Darwin's finches on Daphne Major, one of the Galápagos Islands. Since 1973, the Grants have spent six months of every year capturing, tagging, and taking blood samples from finches on the island. They have worked to show that natural selection can be seen within a single lifetime, or even within a couple of years. Charles Darwin originally thought that natural selection was a long, drawn out process. The Grants have shown that these changes in populations can happen very quickly.</span>
