If there is no hunting in a conservation area but overgrazing is occurring, what threat will exist?

Correct answer: Vegetation and soil may be affected

The direct answer is option A: overgrazing may affect vegetation and soil. Overgrazing occurs when too many animals feed in an area or remain there too long. Step by step, repeated grazing removes grass and young plants; fewer roots then hold the soil; bare soil is more easily eroded by wind and water; plant growth and habitat quality decline. Hoof pressure can also compact soil and reduce water entering it. Option A is correct because both vegetation and soil are threatened. Option B is wrong because absence of hunting does not mean every conservation problem has ended. Option C is wrong because heavy grazing does not make grass always increase; it usually prevents recovery. Option D is wrong because habitat is directly affected by grazing conditions. Conservation requires controlling damaging grazing where necessary. Memory cue: too many grazers mean fewer plants and weaker soil.
