Answer 1

Answer:

I think A. is the right answer.

Explanation:

I searched up on how to determine population size and here here are some things I found. ¨The number of individuals in a specific area¨, ¨The most obvious way to determine the size of a population is to count, one by one.¨, but one thing I´m kinda sure is right is this one. It´s determining population size.  ¨Some methods of determining the size of population are direct and indirect observations, sampling, and mark-and-recapture studies¨ But just see for yourself.
