What will happen to a population of predators if there is a sudden, temporary increase in the number of prey? a. the population of predators will be uniform with no change. b. the population of predators will increase first and then decrease slowly. c. the population of predators will increase continuously.

The correct answer option is B. The population of predators will increase first and then decrease slowly.

Explanation:

There is a stable number of predators and prey in any given environment that it can maintain.

If there is an increase in the number of prey, then there would also be an increase in the number of predators to compensate that increase of prey.

However, as soon as the population gets balanced again, the population of predators would slowly decrease back to its original number.

true, i don't really know what you're asking but from the info you provided im guessing the answer is true.
