The correct answer is milkweed. The monarch butterfly population has declined primarily due to a scarcity of milkweed, which is the sole food source for their caterpillars. When there is a shortage of milkweed, there is a reduced availability of suitable habitat for the monarch butterflies to lay their eggs and for the caterpillars to feed on.
