The correct answer is D. The population of hawks will decrease. The population of rabbits will increase.

Explanation:

In an energy pyramid or food chain, organisms depend on others; for example, in this case, snakes depend on rabbits, and hawks depend on snakes to obtain nutrients.

In this way, if a disease strikes snakes there would be fewer snakes; this will cause the population of rabbits to increase because more rabbits will survive and reproduce if there are few predators. On the other hand, the population of hawks will decrease because without snakes there will not be enough food for hawks, and this leads to fewer hawks. Thus, in this case, it is expected "The population of hawks will decrease. The population of rabbits will increase".
