After a bottleneck event, the population of rabbits in an area has significantly decreased a decade later, the population of rabbits recovers to its original number. Which statement is correct about the rabbits.
A) they are less likely to survive, environmental because of the bottleneck event
B) they are likely to survive, environmental changes because their population has recovered
C) they are as likely to survive, environmental changes because they survived the bottleneck event
D) they are more likely to survive, environmental changes because of the bottleneck event
C) they are as likely to survive, environmental changes because they survived the bottleneck event
The fact that the rabbit population was able to recover to its original number after a decade suggests that the surviving rabbits were able to adapt and thrive in the new environment. This indicates that the rabbits are as likely to survive future environmental changes.
