  1. A decrease the population of
  2. An increase of the population of 
  3. Great news for its prey of
  4. No impact found on

The correct answer is: A decrease the population of


    As predator populations increase, they put greater strain on the prey populations and act as a top-down control, pushing them toward a state of decline. Thus both availability of resources and predation pressure affect the size of prey populations.
