Answer
The correct option is Decrease the population of prey species. This answer is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to explain how new predators can change the numbers and distribution of organisms in a community in the subtopic Biotic factors.
Explanation
The correct option is Decrease the population of prey species. Decrease the population of prey species is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to explain how new predators can change the numbers and distribution of organisms in a community. This belongs to the subtopic Biotic factors within Adaptations, interdependence and competition, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context. The other options are incorrect because they either do not answer this learning objective, use a vague statement, or move away from Biotic factors.
