Apopulation is more likely to go extinct when
a. both patch sizes are large and close together
b. patch sizes are large
c. patch sizes are small
d. both patch sizes are small and distant from one another
e. it is distant from other populations of the same species

Both patch sizes are small and distant from one another.

Explanation:

Population can be defined as the total number of inhabitants at a particular place. When few individuals inhabit a small patch, the resources per capita are smaller and it negatively affects the reproductive success and survival of the next generation. Thus, the extinction probability may increase in patches of small sizes and distant from each other.

you didn't give any options but heres what i can tell you: an inference is likely to change based on additional observations. the latter is something that you have seen or sensed using your sensory organs while the former is like a conclusion out from what you have observed.

idk what the options are but

these is a strong electrostatic attraction between the ions hence a lot of energy is needed to overcome this attraction

this is why the boiling points are so high
