1.	In the given food web, and increase in the population of hawks will not result in A. decrease in the population of rabbits and sankesB. decrease in the population of mouseC. decrease in the population of lizardsD. increase in the population of grasshoppers.
Answer» Correct Answer - D In the given food web, hawk is the top carnivore feeding upon lizard, rabbit snake and mouse. So, if the population of hawks would increase, they would feed more on rabbit, snake, mouse and lizards which will result in decrease of their population. Due to less number of predators (lizards), population of grasshopper will increase.
