The correct response is:
The flea population increases because there are more dogs to live on.
When another dog is introduced into a home that already has fleas, the flea population can increase due to the availability of additional hosts for the fleas to feed on. Fleas typically thrive in environments with multiple potential hosts, leading to an increase in their population.
