If food is available for wildlife in an area but safe hiding places are absent, what problem will occur?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Safety and breeding may be hindered
A habitat is not merely a place containing food. Wildlife also needs water, shelter, suitable space, protection from predators, and conditions for resting and breeding. Safe hiding places are especially important because animals may otherwise be exposed to predators, disturbance, weather, or human activity. Without suitable shelter, even an area with adequate food may fail to support a stable wildlife population. Safety and breeding can therefore be hindered.
The statement that food alone means there is no problem ignores the many parts of a habitat. Wildlife does need shelter, so the habitat cannot be called complete when it is missing. Thus option A is the correct conclusion.
