C. The population of owls decreases.
Owls are known to be a predator that depends on mice or other animals for food In order to survive. However, increase in population of owls will automatically crash the population of the mice or other prey species as the owls eat them and this will lead to a resultant crash in owls population.
Answer:
Option C, the population of owls decreases
Explanation:
The growth of population of owl is linked with the adequate supply of food i.e mice.
The higher the population of mice , the higher will be the population growth of owls.
Thus, As the population of mouse decreases, the owls will not get sufficient food. There will be scarcity of food which will lead to the survival of the fittest owl only and hence the owl population will decrease eventually.
Hence, option C is correct
