b) increased antidiuretic hormone and increased aldosterone
c) increased antidiuretic hormone and decreased aldosterone
d) decreased antidiuretic hormone and increased aldosterone

Alberta populations of woodland caribou have been in the past several years. One major influence has been the logging of mature forests which contain lichens necessary for caribou to survive the winter.
The young regenerated forest provides good food supply for moose, deer and elk, which, in turn, will attract and support the growth of a wolf population which preys on the caribou.
Oil and gas activity in these logged areas further increase human contact with the caribou and increase poaching and accidental deaths. The wolves use cutlines and skidoo trails to increase their hunting range.
The table below shows the changes in the populations of animals in the time following the logging of a mature forest
Changes in Three Populations of Animals

Time Population one Population Two Population Three
1 100 20 300
2 150 22 390
3 200 24 280
4 250 25 270
