Solution

The correct option is A True
Tigers depend on herbivores for their food. If the tiger population decreases, it leads to an increase in the deer and other herbivore population since, they do not face any threat. The increased herbivore population leads to an over-exploitation of flora of that area. Due to this, the food web gets affected.
