Solution
The correct option is D Mouse
In the above food web, if wild cat becomes extinct, the population of mouse would increase due to the decrease in number of predators. The population of tiger and wolf would also decrease because of the decrease in number of preys they had.
It must be noted that this is valid if the extinction is slow. If somehow, this process is sped up, it will have significant impact on the entire food web.
