Use the information and pictures to answer the following question.

In August 2010, the Asian Clam was discovered in Lake George. It is not native to that lake. A single Asian Clam can reproduce and release hundreds of offspring in a day. Fish and crayfish eat the clams but cannot keep pace with the rate at which the clams reproduce. The Asian Clam eats the same food as native clams.

A scientist set up two model lakes in large tanks with the same animal species as Lake George in order to test how the Asian Clam might be impacting the ecosystem. The scientists added Asian Clams to one tank but not the other tank.

Which statement BEST predicts what would likely happen in the experimental tank?

A.
The impact would be negative because it would reduce the amount of food available for the fish and crayfish populations.

B.
The impact would be positive because it would reduce competition with native clams and increase the stability of the ecosystem.

C.
The impact would be negative because it would increase competition with native clams and reduce the stability of the ecosystem.

D.
The impact would be positive because it would provide the fish and crayfish populations with food.

Answer:

C.The impact would be negative because it would increase competition with native clams and reduce the stability of the ecosystem.

Explanation:

Since, It states that:

Tank 1:                                                   Tank 2:

Fish                                                             Fish

crayfish                                                   crayfish

Asian clam                              

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thus, since they both eat Asian clam which means competition as well as  it would be negative. Therefore, that left us with [C] .

Hence, Answer = [C]

help me pls say the number and letter that go together

Heres the text
In the spring of each year, the second largest dead zone in the United States forms in the Gulf of Mexico. During the spring, farmers fertilize their land as they prepare for crop season. As a result, nutrients from the fertilizers, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, drain into the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, “Excess nutrients that run off land or are piped as wastewater into rivers and coasts can stimulate an overgrowth of algae, which then sinks and decomposes in the water” (NOAA, 2018). The decomposition process consumes and depletes oxygen levels in the Gulf of Mexico, which causes hypoxic areas or dead zones.



A group of scientists measured several water quality parameters to better understand how dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico impact brown shrimp populations over time. The scientists are most interested in the dissolved oxygen levels because the levels are critical for the survival of brown shrimp populations. Brown shrimp populations thrive when dissolved oxygen levels in the Gulf of Mexico are greater than 2 mg/L. However, the populations cannot thrive when dissolved oxygen levels are at or below 2/mg/L.
