The prairie vole, a small North American grassland rodent, breeds year-round, and a group of voles living together consists primarily of an extended family, often including two or more litters. Voles commonly live in large groups from late autumn through winter; from spring through early autumn, however, most voles live in far smaller groups. The seasonal variation in group size can probably be explained by a seasonal variation in mortality among young voles.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest support for the explanation offered?
It is in the spring and early summer that prairie vole communities generally contain the highest proportion of young voles.
Prairie vole populations vary dramatically in size from year to year.
The prairie vole subsists primarily on broad-leaved plants that are abundant only in spring.
Winters in the prairie voles' habitat are often harsh, with temperatures that drop well below freezing.
Snakes, a major predator of young prairie voles, are active only from spring through early autumn.
现象解释，社区的大小和季节有关，一个可能的解释是 young voles的死亡率，问增加，那么答案可能是对解释现象的增加，会包含两点，一个是季节，一个是幼虫的死亡，答案只有E包含了这两点。
