A 34-year study of a deer population in Arizona showed that the population increased rapidly from 4,000 to 100,000 between 1905 and 1924. After this rapid growth, more than 60,000 deer died from starvation, and the population dropped to 10,000 by 1939.
Which combination of factors most likely caused the rapid increase in the deer population before 1924?
A. Predator populations decreased, and deer hunting was banned
B. Drought reduced grass populations, and new predators were introduced
C. Hunting limits were increased, and flooding reduced available habitat
D. New grasses were introduced, and predator populations increased
A
