Question

which of these can cause the bottleneck effect?
an increase in food, water, and shelter
a slowly growing, stable population
catastrophic events such as volcanoes, fires, hurricanes, and destruction of habitat by humans

Explanation:

The bottleneck effect occurs when a population is drastically reduced, often due to catastrophic events. An increase in resources or a stable population doesn't cause a population reduction. Catastrophic events like volcanoes, fires, hurricanes, and habitat destruction by humans can severely reduce a population size, which is characteristic of the bottleneck effect.

Answer:

catastrophic events such as volcanoes, fires, hurricanes, and destruction of habitat by humans
