Ascientist is studying the population decline of cheetahs in africa and the middle east over the past several decades. which best describes this situation? a conservation biologist observing artificial selection an evolutionary geneticist observing a migration process a conservation biologist observing an evolutionary process an evolutionary geneticist observing an environmental problem

The answer is an evolutionary geneticist observing an environmental problem.

Through the process of elimination:
- a conservation biologist observing artificial selection - it is unlikely that artificial selection will cause the population decline. Artificial selection is used to intentionally reproduce organisms with desirable traits.

- an evolutionary geneticist observing a migration process - this study is not about migration, it would be at least mentioned.

- an evolutionary geneticist observing a migration process -  the conservation biologist study biodiversity in order to protect species, as well as their habitats and ecosystems. Here, we cannot assume nothing about evolution processes from this statement.

All of this leaves the last choice as the most likely:
- an evolutionary geneticist observing an environmental problem - the problem could probably be environmental, but still there is no much evidence about the cause of the population decline of cheetahs.
