Answer: C. The population size became limited due to factors such as availability of food.
Explanation:
Out of all the choices, C is the most likely to happen since more often then not, food runs out because a species has too many members. C is an example of the environment’s carrying capacity limiting the chipmunk species.
Since we are not told if the chipmunk population is really small, interbreeding may not happen. Predators hunt prey, not eat fruits like chipmunks do (I’m assuming what chipmunks eat.) If there was a predator species that came in, they would hunt the chipmunks instead of competing for the same resources. D just doesn’t make much sense in my opinion because that wouldn’t limit the chipmunk population.

Sustain Life and Growth
Air consists one of the main life-sustaining gas called oxygen. Almost all living things breathe in and breathe out this air. Nitrogen and Carbon dioxide are also other gases that are vital for plants and their growth.
Combustion
Apart from this, air supports burning or combustion. The oxygen present in air help in burning of the fuels to basically carry out activities like cooking food, running industries and vehicles as well as generating heat and electricity.
Temperature Control
Another important aspect of air is that it helps in maintaining the temperature on the earth surface by circulating hot and cold air. Air acts as a conductor of heat as well. Even phenomena such as water cycle are dependent on air.
Supplier of Energy
Air which consists of energy is one of the main suppliers of energy. Living things are made up of cells and these cells extract oxygen within the blood to produce energy usually in the form of ATP. This biochemical generation of ATP is essential to maintain life on the earth.
Photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide, which is a component of air is used by plants during the process of photosynthesis. Here oxygen is also released by plants. And we already know how vital oxygen is.
