The correct answer is (b) Increase

Pines trees are infected by different insects during the adverse and stressed environmental condition. Pine borer beetle is pest that infect pine tree during the stressed condition due to lack of water in that area. In healthy condition pines can kill these insects but in stressed condition insect will effect the plant so if the number of beetle will decrease, the population of pines will increase in that area.

Answer:

The correct answer would be "increase".

Parasitism (+/-) is a type of ecological relationship in which one organism lives on or in another organism to get its nutrition. It causes harm or may even kill another organism.

In this scenario, if the population of the parasite (pine borer beetle) decreases, then it would decrease harm and destruction of pine trees.

Hence, the population of pine trees would increase.

Indicate which pattern of evolution is shown by the many species of finches on the Galápagos Islands.
-Dominant- [34]
Answer;
Adaptive radiation;
The pattern of evolution that is shown by many species of finches on the Galapagos Islands is Adaptive radiation. 

Explanation; 
Adaptive radiation is a pattern of evolution in which a single lineage undergoes multiple speciation events to fill divergent ecological niches. The result is a cluster of phenotypically distinct related species.
A few million years ago, one species of finch migrated to the rocky Galapagos from mainland of Central or south America. From this one migrant species would come many species;-at least 13 species of finch, which exploit different niches, evolving from a single ancestor.
