Vedclass · Answer

(B) Statement-$I$ is correct. Predators play a crucial role in maintaining species diversity in a community by reducing the intensity of competition among competing prey species. If predators are removed,prey species could achieve very high population densities and cause ecosystem instability.Statement-$II$ is incorrect. Predators are 'prudent' in nature,meaning they do not overexploit their prey. If a predator were to overexploit its prey,the prey might become extinct,and following it,the predator would also become extinct for lack of food. Therefore,predators maintain a balance.

$A. +/+$	$I. \text{Predation}$
$B. -/-$	$II. \text{Ammensalism}$
$C. +/-$	$III. \text{Competition}$
$D. -/0$	$IV. \text{Mutualism}$

Statement-$I$: In the absence of predators,prey species population can decline and cause ecosystem instability.
Statement-$II$: Predators are prudent in nature and overexploit their prey.
