In a grassland ecosystem, if the population of eagles suddenly decreased, what will most likely be the effect on the rest of the ecosystem?

A. The ecosystem will become overpopulated with snakes.
B. There will be a decrease in the population of snakes in the ecosystem.
C. The nutrition of the soil in the ecosystem will decrease.
D. More types of plants will begin growing in the ecosystem.

The sudden decrease in eagle populations in a grassland ecosystem will likely result in an increase in the population of snakes, as there will be less predation. This allows snakes to thrive, potentially affecting other species and plant life as well. Therefore, the correct choice is A: The ecosystem will become overpopulated with snakes.
