Answer: The population of Hawks will decrease.

Explanation:  When the population of one species decreases suddenly, as when a disease strikes the population, the populations higher in the food chain also decrease due to a loss in food supply. In this case the hawk population decreases because there are suddenly fewer snakes to eat. The species below the diseased species in the food chain increase because there are fewer predators. In this case, the rabbit population increases because there are fewer snakes to eat them.
