The population cycles of the snowshoe hare and its predator, the lynx, reveal that
(A) the prey population is controlled by predators alone
(B) hares and lynxes are so mutually dependent that each species cannot
survive without the other (C) the relationship is primarily independent;
in other words, the number of hares does not have any effect on the
number of lynxes and vice versa (D) both hare and lynx populations are
regulated mainly by abiotic factors (E) the hare population is r-selected
and the lynx population is K-selected 78. “We can burn coal to produce
