Answer:

The correct answer is a: The community was under top-down control

Explanation:

Top-down control refers to scenarios where superior predators control the structure and dynamic of an ecosystem. These systems are affected by the presence/absence of the superior predator influences all the lower links in the trophic chain.  

In the exposed example wolves, that are considered to be the top predators, affected the white-tailed deer populations being the cause of its decrease.  As wolves used to feed on white-tailed deer, they kept these populations under control, but once the wolves got extinct, the deer population increased again. Probably, this explosion in the deer´s population also affected its lower link in the trophic chain.

Why do some regions specialize in "milk products" like cheese and butter rather than fluid milk? identify some of these importan
kati45 [8]
This happens because these regions are located further away from urban areas and the milk can easily get spoiled before it is delivered to the consumers. Therefore, dairy farms which are away from urban areas, process the milk in order to produce milk products that can last longer. Milk products such as butter or cheese can stay fresh for a longer period of time and they do not get spoiled before reaching the consumers. New Zealand is a place where this practice is quite common since it is located at a great distance from important markets, such as Europe and North America. Milk can be shipped at such a great distance only in the form of processed milk products.
