An inference about black-and-white ruffed lemurs could be: "Lemur populations will continue to decline if they are not protected." This statement infers a consequence (the decline of lemur populations) based on the assumption that protection measures are necessary for their survival. The other options are more specific claims or predictions, while this one draws a broader conclusion about the necessity of protection for their survival.
