Question

Three bird species share a habitat. Bird A eats insects and plant seeds. Bird B drinks flower nectar. Bird C eats plant seeds.

A drought occurs in their habitat, and that season's plants are wiped out entirely. What is the likely outcome for each type of bird?
(1 point)
• Bird A survives; either bird B or bird C dies, and the other survives.
• Bird A survives; both birds B and C die.
• Bird B survives; either bird A or bird C dies, and the other survives.
• Bird B survives; both birds A and C die.

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Bird A is most likely to survive as it has a varied diet of insects and plant seeds, giving it a better chance of finding food during the drought. Bird B, which only drinks flower nectar, may have a harder time finding food and is at risk of dying. Bird C, which eats plant seeds like Bird A, also has a chance of surviving if it can find alternative sources of food. Therefore, the most likely outcome is that Bird A survives, while either Bird B or Bird C dies, and the other survives.
