Okay what shall i help you with
Answer:
b) At equilibrium, the species composition of an island will not change.
Explanation:
The Theory of Island Biogeography written by Robert H. MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson (1967) is an essential book for any professional working in biogeography, biodiversity, ecology, conservation and related fields. The theory of island biogeography states that species diversity on islands tends to approach a dynamic equilibrium due to the balance between colonization (inmigration), speciation and extinction. At equilibrium, the species composition of an island will change, precisely at the time that immigration and extinction processes maintain the number of species in a dynamic equilibrium, thereby maintaining species diversity. In this case, the colonization rate represents a function of distance to the continent (or other islands), the extinction rate is a function of the size of the island and habitat heterogeneity, and speciation is a function of time. This book also contains a series of useful considerations: 1-the number of species in an area is directly associated with the size of the area; 2-large islands support more diverse communities than small islands; 3-the viability of populations on island systems can be considered as a function of the island size and its proximity to the mainland (or other islands); and 4- when a habitat is lost the remaining fragmented area may lose some of its important species.

Explanation:
sorry
I believe the correct answer would be metabolism. This comprises all of the reactions inside organisms that allows them to sustain life. There are two categories of such namely, anabolism and catabolism. Hope this answers the question.
It would be B.) ospreys; decomposers
Since ospreys eat nothing but fish, if all of the trout died from a disease, the ospreys wouldn't have anything to eat because all of the fish are dead. This results in a loss of energy for the ospreys.
However, decomposers would gain more energy because they gain their energy from dead creatures, in this case, it would be the trout.
