0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5
year: 1992, 1997, 2002, 2007, 2012
options:
15 million
0.15 million (selected)
0.15
19 million
0.19 million
25
.25 million

Explanation:

To determine the rabbit population in 1997, we analyze the graph. The y - axis is labeled "Number of individuals (millions)". Looking at the data point for 1997 on the graph, we can see that it aligns closely with the value of 0.15 million. Other options like 15 million (way too large), 0.15 (missing the "million" unit), 19 million (too large), 0.19 million (does not match the graph's data point for 1997), 25 (no unit and incorrect magnitude), and 0.25 million (higher than the 1997 data point) are incorrect.

Answer:

0.15 million
