Step 2: Do not make any changes. Click "Add Mate." Wait until the line on the population graph has past the "2" (For Generation 2). Your screen should look like the image below (number of rabbits can vary).
Step 3: Once the line has passed the "2" check the box to add Wolves. Continue to let the simulation run until it stops or until you reach Generation 10 (if this is set up correctly you will not make it to 10). Note that there is a fast-forward button.

Based on the simulation described, the most accurate response would be:
The population continued to grow, but was kept in check by the wolf population.
This indicates that while the rabbit population may have initially increased, the introduction of wolves likely led to a natural predator-prey dynamic that regulated the rabbit population's growth.
