Wildlife management provides game species with which essential elements?

• A. Food, water, and cover
• B. Shelter and light
• C. Predators and disease
• D. Noise and scent

Answer: (A)

Wildlife management focuses on providing game species with essential resources that support their survival and reproduction: food, water, and cover. Food supplies the energy and nutrients animals need to grow, stay healthy, and reproduce. Water is essential for hydration and all bodily functions. Cover offers protection from harsh weather, concealment from predators, and suitable places for nesting or resting. Together, these elements help habitats support healthy, sustainable populations. Other options describe pressures or conditions wildlife face—like predators, disease, or disturbances—not the basic resources provided by habitat management.
