The correct response is: The wolves increased the population by eating beavers’ predators.

The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone helped to control the populations of elk, which in turn allowed for increased vegetation growth along riverbanks. This growth provided better habitat for beavers, positively influencing their population dynamics.
