The paragraph discusses how butterfly populations have been declining but are now bouncing back, indicating a positive trend. It also mentions that this is the best year for growth in more than two decades for some species of butterflies.
Option A) If human beings would leave them alone, butterflies would be fine: This sentence introduces a possible cause of the declining populations but does not fit the tone of the paragraph, which is focused on the positive news of the population growth.
Option B) I think butterflies are important to the environment: This sentence is subjective and expresses the writer's opinion, which is not necessary in this context.
Option D) Certain butterflies are on the endangered species list: While this sentence provides additional information about butterflies, it veers away from the topic of the positive population news and focuses on endangered species.
