Answer 1

When wolves disappeared from Yellowstone National Park, the deer population increased. This led to overgrazing and significant negative impacts on the vegetation, including an increase in willow and other plant populations as a result of the absence of wolves, which normally help regulate deer populations. Therefore, the correct response is:

The deer population increased.
