A drought has impacted the population size of the frogs.
Reason: Frogs depend on water for survival and breeding, so fewer frogs after rainstorms suggests overall population decline likely caused by reduced water availability (drought). The other choices are either too extreme (new development causing extinction), not well supported by the observations (winter would cause inactivity/hibernation rather than a lasting drop), or overly specific without evidence (warm temperatures drying frogs’ skin).
