Naturalist: The recent claims that the Tasmanian tiger is not extinct are false. The Tasmanian
tiger's natural habitat was taken over by sheep farming decades ago, resulting in the animal's

sightings of the animal, the Tasmanian tiger no longer exists.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which the naturalist's argument depends?
A) Sheep farming drove the last Tasmanian tigers to starvation by chasing them from their
natural habitat.

evidence of the tiger's survival.

adapt to a different region in response to the loss of habitat.
