    Which of the following graphs correctly depict the prey-predator relationship?

    A)

    B)

    C)

    D)  

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In predator-prey relationship, one species (the predator) consumes another species (the prey). Such predator-prey relationship tends to keep the populations of both species (prey and predator) in balance. As the prey population increases, there is more food for predators. So, after a slight lag, the predator population increases as well. As the number of predators increases, more prey are captured. As a result, the prey population starts to decrease. So, after a lag, the predator population also decreases due to less availability of food. This is represented in the graph given in option [a].
