    B)  1 and 4 only    

    C)                     2 and 4 only  

    D)         1 and 2 only         

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    When bulbul's population is increased, it would eat more grasshoppers and caterpillars. As a result, population of grasshoppers and caterpillars would decrease and hence plant population will increase. Similarly, since snakes feed on bulbul, any increase in bulbul's population would increase population of snakes.
