A rabbit population is affected by parasitism and disease, both of which are density-dependent limiting factors. Which statement describes the effects of
parasitism and disease on the rabbits?

O A. Parasites and disease weaken or kill a constant percentage of the rabbit population, regardless of its density.

o B. As the density of the rabbit population increases, parasites and disease weaken or kill a greater percentage of rabbits.

O

C. As the density of the rabbit population increases, parasites and disease weaken or kill a lesser percentage of rabbits.

o

D. Parasites and disease weaken or kill mostly the youngest and oldest rabbits, and not the rabbits of average age.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - As the density of the rabbit population increases, parasites and disease weaken or kill a greater percentage of rabbits

Explanation:

Disease and parasitism are types of density-dependent limiting factors that affected or influenced by the change in the population density, In this case, parasitism and disease affect the population of the rabbits.

If the density of the rabbit population increases the both density depending on the limiting factors parasites and disease weaken or ill a greater numbers of rabbit population.
