The author argues that if the condor is to survive in the wild, its population must increase. Their population will increase only if most of the condors' eggs hatch. However, the author suggests this is highly unlikely due to environmental dangers to the eggs. Thus, the author believes that breeding condors in captivity and releasing them into the wild will make the eggs hatching much more likely.

If most condor eggs do not hatch, the population will not increase, and then the birds will not survive in the wild.

This is far too strong to support. The author suggests that breeding them in captivity could alleviate the pressures that destroy condor eggs.

The stimulus does not suggest that breeding condors in captivity is the best way to save them from extinction. It is just provided as a way to ensure the hatching of more eggs.

This is too strong to support. The stimulus says that eliminating all of the threats to eggs “in the wild” is extremely unlikely. Not that it is almost impossible in every context.

This is the reasoning in the stimulus. If the condor is to survive, the population must increase. If the population increases, most of the eggs will hatch. Run the contrapositive, and that’s the answer.

The stimulus is focused on increasing the hatching success rate, not the rate of egg production itself.
