Because Hawaiian seal is not having exactly equal capability. The question stem asks that we need to choose species which is equally likely and not Similarly.

Only ice seals have equally likely capability compared to Californian sea lion

Hi Sajjad1994 Bunuel,
Nice Question. But I would like your opinion on my take. I chose Sperm whales for the second dropdown because I got confused by the wordings which says "it would be equally possible to manage the population of _______ and meet a much greater management need. " Doesn't this mean after managing this species, it would be possible to meet further management needs. Then in that case after the dropdown, further management capability should be left right. But if we chose Ice Seals, the management capability will be already met and it will not be possible "to meet further/(a much greater) management need"

Thank You.
Sajjad1994


The figure shows the current capability and management need for several species of threatened and endangered species.

1. According to the figure, would be the most likely needlessly managed species, but it would be equally possible to manage the population of and meet a much greater management need.
