I believe that a pair of homologous structures in this case is; Maple leaf and oak leaf. Homologous structures that have similar ancestries and common traits, however they may not have the same function in an organism. They appear in different animals or organisms, underlining anatomical commonalities demonstrating a descent from a common ancestor. Examples include the arm of a human, the wing of a bird or a bat, the leg of a dog and the flipper of a dolphin or whale.
If I am correct you answer will be
D) The concentration of salt becomes so high that all plant life is destroyed.
hope this helps
Unfortunately this question is incomplete as it does not provide any choices. However, there are certain ecological factors that can cause a population of mice to decrease quickly. One is an increase in predation. Many carnivorous animals prey on mice, including birds of prey, foxes and various other predacious mammals, as mice are small and high in number. This means a lot of mice are removed from the population through predation. Any increase in predator pressure could quickly disturb the balance in the mice population. Another factor is a disease. Some diseases can seriously deplete populations of animals, with the remaining hardier individuals developing immunity.
