The correct comparison between aerial photography and direct counting from a helicopter in determining the population size of large mammals is:
**d. aerial photography is highly accurate, whereas direct counting from a helicopter has a high risk of human error.**
This highlights the strengths of aerial photography in terms of providing a permanent visual record that can be analyzed for accuracy, while direct counting from a helicopter may be more prone to mistakes due to factors such as visibility and judgment calls made by the observer.
