Solution:

Predation is an interspecific interaction with a feeding strategy, i.e., one species (prey) is eaten up by another (predator). The number of predator usually depends upon the population of prey, but the later is also controlled by predators. Thus, predatory and their prey maintain fairly stable population through time and rarely one population becomes abundant or scarce. Hence, both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation for .
