Question

1. in what year was the rabbit population 0.35 million?

rabbit population growth from 1992-2012
graph with y - axis number of individuals (millions) (ranging from 0 to 0.5) and x - axis years: 1992, 1997, 2002, 2007, 2012
options:
○ 1992
○ 1997
○ 2002
○ 2007
○ sometime between 2007 and 2012
○ trick question: the rabbit population was never 0.35 million

Explanation:

To determine the year when the rabbit population was 0.35 million, we analyze the graph. The vertical axis represents the number of individuals (in millions), and the horizontal axis represents the year. Looking at the graph, the population of 0.35 million is reached around the year 2002 as the growth curve intersects the 0.35 - million mark near 2002. The other options: 1992 has a very low population, 1997 is below 0.35 million, 2007 and later years have populations above 0.35 million, and it is not a trick question as the population does reach 0.35 million.

Answer:

C. 2002 (assuming the options are labeled A - F with A: 1992, B: 1997, C: 2002, D: 2007, E: sometime between 2007 and 2012, F: Trick question: the rabbit population was never 0.35 million)
