The correct answer is: The bear population is not proportionally related to the number of years because the ratio in the last row is not equal to the ratios in the first two rows.
In order for a relationship to be considered proportional, the ratios between the two variables should remain constant. In this case, the ratio of bear population to years is not the same in the last row as it is in the first two rows. Therefore, the bear population is not proportionally related to the number of years.
