please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

The eastern monarch butterfly's entire population spends winter in Oyamel fir forests. Logging would destroy their winter habitat, increasing extinction risk. Monarchs breed on milkweed (not Oyamel fir), so B is wrong. Cold winters in Oyamel are normal (they hibernate there), so C is wrong. They don't feed on Oyamel fir (feed on nectar from flowers), so D is wrong.

Answer:

A. the entire population of the species spends winter in Oyamel
