One reason why small patches of protected land could be disadvantageous is it would be difficult for forest rangers to keep track of the different patches it would require too many roads to connect the patches it would make it difficult for animals to move around and seek resources in other areas park visitors would be less likely to visit all areas of a park

The answer is C.

Explanation:

I think the main and most important disadvantage of small patches of land that are seperate from each other would be the option given in C. It would basically force the animals into small areas where there is finite resources and that would lead to territory problems among them where groups start fighting. This action would also remove the possibility of the different species interacting with each other and thus disrupting the food chain which is crucial for a stable habitat.

I hope this answer helps.
