The Spotted Mole is a rodent that burrows underground and

Almost everyone got to the point where it felt like it was either A or D.

Since the correct answer is given as D, experts are providing their logic regarding why A should be considered a wrong answer. Most of the logic is as follows - The birds of prey do not need to capture and kill every single Spotted Mole that comes above ground. Just killing 99% or a majority of the moles should be enough. Hence option A is wrong.

The prompt requires some extreme thinking here. Because, even if one mole survives, it can create some threat to the fruits. But we have to reach the argument where the Mole poses no threat to the fruits.

On the other hand, I'd like to tell you why D can be considered a wrong answer.

Option D states that "The times of day the Spotted Mole feeds are the same as the times of day that the birds of prey are in the air."

This does not need to be true. The birds of prey do not need to be in the air when the Mole feeds. The birds can just sit on a tree waiting for the mole to come out and then prey on the moles. The birds can even be on the ground and wait for their prey to come out. Hence, D can be ruled out.
