Question
Which of the following is not a logical pairing of an environmental factor that may affect the bluegill population with how that factor would affect it? [2 pt; L2; II.B]
pollutants poison the bluegills' source of food thereby decreasing the population
acid rain increases the acidity of the lake and so helps break down the bluegills' food and increases the population
the extinction of the bluegill's competitor increases the bluegills food source thereby increasing the bluegill population
soil erodes into the lake and changes the bottom habitat where the bluegill spawn thereby decreasing the population

Explanation / Answer
Hi Answer:
Q. Which of the following is not a logical pairing of an environmental factor that may affect the bluegill population with how that factor would affect it?
Answer: Option B. (acid rain increases the acidity of the lake and so helps break down the bluegills' food and increases the population)
Explanation: Acid rain increases the acidity of the lake but the acid never help in the increase the population of bluegill fishes or even any individual because due to acid rain the pH of the lake drops down and lower pH (acidic) conditions are not suitable for the survival of any organisms then how it can increase the population. Due to this reason, this statement is not logical.
