Answer:

A. Due to an increase in food supply, there is an increase in the deer population.

Explanation:

An increase in deer population means an increase in chance of deer being infected, a higher chance that a deer is infected means a higher chance of a tick being infected, since there are more deer, there are more ticks, the more infected ticks, the more infected with Lyme Disease.
