Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Predators hunt prey. (Obviously). As such, they help control the population of that particular prey-species. If the predator species is removed from the equation, 2 times are changed. Long term & short term. Long term includes lower populations due to lack of resources. Short term includes overpopulation due to lack of threat.
