The population of the ground squirrels will be limited by the population of the hawks. The population of the hawks, thus, will be a limiting factor for the population of the ground squirrels. The Hawks are the birds of prey that feeds on squirrels. With the increased number of hawks in the same area as them will put these squirrels in danger. The population of the tree squirrels, however, will have no affect on the population of the ground squirrels. The genetic variability and breeding season are not limiting factors for their population either.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option B - a population of hawks'.

Answer:

Reinforcement

Explanation:

Reinforcement can be referred to as anything that can be used to increase, enhance or strengthen a desirable behavior in a person or an organism. Reinforcement is of two types, they include positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement. Positive reinforcement has to do with adding a reward in order to enhance a desirable behavior, while negative reinforcement has to do with removing an undesirable thing in order to strengthen a desirable behavior.

From the question asked,  because the presence of insects after moving the decaying logs increased the frequency at which the bears moved the decaying logs, the finding of the insects is, therefore, a reinforcement. The finding of the enhanced or strengthened the desirable behavior.
