The correct answer is 3- <span>The smelt and alewife may out-compete the native fish by consuming all of the zooplankton.

The diagram tells us that zooplankton is eaten by smelts and alewifes. If these two species increase in number, less of the zooplankton will be left for plankton-eating fish, which is a native type of fish, to eat.
</span>
<span> smelt and alewife eat most of the existing plankton so, they are out-competing the native fish.</span>
