The answer is an evolutionary geneticist observing an environmental problem.

Through the process of elimination:
- a conservation biologist observing artificial selection - it is unlikely that artificial selection will cause the population decline. Artificial selection is used to intentionally reproduce organisms with desirable traits.

- an evolutionary geneticist observing a migration process - this study is not about migration, it would be at least mentioned.

- an evolutionary geneticist observing a migration process - the conservation biologist study biodiversity in order to protect species, as well as their habitats and ecosystems. Here, we cannot assume nothing about evolution processes from this statement.

All of this leaves the last choice as the most likely:
- an evolutionary geneticist observing an environmental problem - the problem could probably be environmental, but still there is no much evidence about the cause of the population decline of cheetahs.

Answer from: ahrensy8444

The correct answer is "a conservation biologist observing an evolutionary process".

Explanation:

An evolutionary process is defined as any substantial change in a population of organisms, either beneficial or harmful to the species. A scientist studying the population decline of cheetahs in Africa and the Middle East over the past several decades, would likely is a conservation biologist observing an evolutionary process. The scientist must record any factor that could be contributing to cheetahs' population declining, including physical, biological as well as human contributions.
