After a bottleneck event, the population of rabbits in an area has significantly decreased. A decade later, the population of the rabbits recovers to its original numbers. Which statement is correct about the rabbits?(1 point)

They are more likely to survive environmental changes because of the bottleneck event.

They are as likely to survive environmental changes because their population has recovered.

They are less likely to survive environmental changes because of the bottleneck event.

The bottleneck event that significantly decreased the rabbit population would have likely led to a decrease in genetic diversity among the surviving rabbits. This lack of genetic diversity can make the population more vulnerable to environmental changes and reduce their ability to adapt to new conditions. Therefore, they are less likely to survive environmental changes due to the effects of the bottleneck event.
