    X Y Z
    10 2 1

    B)        Y is a herbivore.

    C)        X is a herbivore.            

    D)        All of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    X and Y are herbivores hence they did not fed on each other when kept together in captivity and their numbers did not change. Z is a carnivore that fed on Y that is why after introduction of Z, number of Y declined to two.
