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.
题目的观点：group大小的季节性变化，是因为幼崽死亡率的季节性变化导致的。
关键点：幼崽死亡率，季节性
A 只提到了幼崽的高比例，不是死亡率。无关
B C D都无关
E 提到了幼崽死亡率。
