Answer:

The correct answer is: D: A population of bobcats depends on these rabbits for food.

Explanation:

This answer can only be explained by taking into consideration the information that is being given by both the statements on the question and also the answering options. So basically, the answer depends on logic. The question statement says that from a normal number of around eight kits for cottontail rabbits, and with only one predator, only two of them actually reach maturity, which means that for some reason, the others die along the way. From the answer options, the only one that actually explains WHY these other six kits died before reaching maturity is the last one, as it establishes that bobcats, probably the one predator these cottontail rabbits have, lives nearby and depends on these little bunnies for food. The likelihood is that the bobcats ended up eating the other six kits.

tatiyna
The false statement is the following:
Cultural music is rarely used for celebrating life events.


Let's take for example the song "Happy Birthday" - it's used to celebrate people's birthdays. Similarly weddings are often accompanied by music, so music is actually often used to celebrate life events.
