A conservation group successfully lobbied to have a specific species of bird placed on the protected list, making it illegal to hunt them. Shortly after the protection began, the population of these birds crashed.
Which one of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent paradox?
- The conservation group has over five thousand active members across the country.
- Many other species of birds in the same region are not currently on the protected list.
- The hunting that the ban ended had also kept down a predator species, which then multiplied and preyed heavily on the birds.
- The bird species is known for its beautiful song and its unique nesting habits.
- The protection was so effective that not a single one of these birds has been legally hunted since the law took effect.
