d. because 10 acres is still a lot less than the 1996-97 peak, when monarchs had occupied 44.5 acres of habitat
Even though there was a significant increase in the monarch population in 2015-16, with them covering 10 acres of habitat, it is still considerably less than their peak in 1996-97 when they covered 44.5 acres. This suggests that there is still work needed to further increase the monarch population and restore their habitat.
