Answer;
An increase in available food and and also decrease in predators would most likely increase the genetic variation in a population. 

Explanation; 
Genetic variation is essential for natural selection since the natural selection can only increase or decrease the frequency of alleles that already exist in the population. Genetic variation may be caused by mutations, and random mating between organisms. 
Increase in the available food also increases the genetic variation as organisms are able to interact freely and thus increases the chances of random mating.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

d. introduce native flowering plants the adult butterflies need for nectar, their main food.

Explanation:

Organisms choose the habitat based on the availability of basic requirements such as food, nutrients, space, etc. in the region. The absence of one or more of these factors makes them choose another habitat. Butterflies feed on nectar made by plants in their flowers. To make the butterflies stay in the landscape, flowering plants adapted to local conditions should be planted. The butterflies would feed on the nectar of these plants and would stay in the landscape.
