Reducing low-growing plants from an area would have a negative impact on the population of tortoises, especially those with short neck extension ability. These tortoises rely on low-growing plants for food and reducing those plants would decrease their food source, potentially leading to a decrease in their population. However, it is unlikely that this would lead to their extinction. The proportion of tortoises with long neck extension ability may have a slight advantage in finding food, but it does not necessarily guarantee an increase in their population. Therefore, none of the mentioned options are accurate.
so whats the answer
Based on the information provided, it is impossible to accurately determine the impact of reducing low-growing plants from an area on the population of tortoises with short and long distance neck extension ability.
