The figure shows that when lynx were excluded from the experiment, the hare population increased significantly. This supports conclusion II. Similarly, when extra food was provided, the hare population also increased significantly, supporting conclusion I. Finally, the data suggest that the effect of excluding predators and adding food is greater than either factor alone, supporting conclusion III. Therefore, all three conclusions can be drawn.
