The correct response is:
**The grass population would increase, and the fox population would decrease.**
When rabbits die due to hunting, the grass population would likely increase because there are fewer rabbits to consume it. As a result, the fox population would decrease over time due to the reduction in their food source (rabbits), leading to potential starvation or reduced reproduction rates among foxes.
