Answer 1

The correct response is:

The wolves increased the population by eating beavers’ predators.

The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone helped control populations of animals like elk, which in turn allowed more willow and aspen trees to grow along riverbanks. This growth provided more habitat and food for beavers, ultimately leading to an increase in their population.
