Question

how would a harsh winter most likely affect the rabbit population size?
population decreases
population increases
population reaches carrying capacity
population completely dies off

Explanation:

A harsh winter can lead to food scarcity and increased energy - demands for warmth. Rabbits may struggle to find enough food and may die from cold or starvation, causing a decrease in population. It is unlikely that the population will increase or reach carrying capacity during harsh winter, and it is also very rare for the entire population to completely die off.

Answer:

population decreases
