Answer:
cause-and-effect
Explanation:
Research shown in the question above will provide results that will allow us to conclude whether a larger number of foxes causes a decrease in the population of snowshoe hares, or whether a decrease in the population of foxes promotes an increase in the population of snowshoe hares. In other words, we can conclude that the experiment will provide cause and effect data, since the number of foxes in an environment (cause) causes effects on the snowshoe hares population.
