It’s difficult to predict the correct answer just based on the question stem, so let’s rely on process of elimination.
a
The number of ██████ ██ ████ █████ ██████ ████ ██████████ ███ ██████████ ████████ ██ ██ ███
Although we know that okapis aren’t as rare as previously thought, this doesn’t support the claim that the number of okapis is “many times larger” than previously thought. Maybe the population is only twice as large as previously thought, or only 1.5 times as large.
The number of ██████ █████ ████████ ████████ ██ ██████ █████ ██ ██████ ██ ███ ████ ██████ ███████ ██████ ███ ████████
Not supported; we have no evidence that the okapi population would increase if they began to forage in the open border. Maybe they’d be more vulnerable to predators, and the population would decrease?
