A biologist studying a desert ecosystem observes that the population of a lizard species increases following a particularly hot, dry period that causes a snake population to decline. What could the biologist hypothesize about the roles of these two species?

A.The lizard preys on the snake

B.The lizard is a parasite of the snake

C.The snake and lizard use the same limiting resource**

D.The snake is a keystone species in the ecosystem

I disagree.

Would it be d instead?

Yes, d.

Thank you
