Question
The National Wildlife Federation released data on deer populations in the United States. The graph shows the estimated populations from 1450 to 2010.
Select the conclusion that is based on scientific thinking.
Hunting deer was popular and unregulated until the early 1900s causing a decrease in populations. This is when hunting limits were set, allowing populations to increase.
Before the early 1900s, there were many viruses that infected the deer, so their populations decreased. After 1902, viruses no longer cared about deer populations so they stopped infecting them.
The deer population steadily decreased until the early 1900s. In 1907, the Sun, Earth, Mars, and Venus aligned. This event caused the deer population to rise again.
Deer were very unlucky until the early 1900s. This is when deer became more lucky, allowing their population to increase.

The conclusion that is based on scientific thinking is:
**Hunting deer was popular and unregulated until the early 1900s causing a decrease in populations. This is when hunting limits were set, allowing populations to increase.**
This conclusion is grounded in a logical analysis of human impact on deer populations and the introduction of conservation measures. It suggests a causal relationship based on historical data about hunting practices and wildlife management, which aligns with scientific reasoning.
