Answer 2

Answer:

Option C, The black bear would most likely move away in search of food and shelter.

Explanation:

Major part of diet of black bear includes shurbs, roots of trees, leaves and grasses.

Logging is a process in which trees are cut down and processed for production of timber and wood products.

Thus, it is clear that logging would disturb the balance of ecosystem in which black bear lives and hence there are chances that it may or may not get food. In case of no food availability , the black bear will move out of its native place in search of food.

Hence, option C is correct
