The information that helps scientists determine the survival probability of a population is:
**a. the level of genetic variation in the population**
Genetic variation is crucial because it affects a population's ability to adapt to changing environments, resist diseases, and survive other challenges. Higher genetic diversity generally increases a population's resilience and survival probability. While the other options may provide useful information, they do not directly address the broad survival probabilities of the entire population as genetic variation does.
