The correct answer is: C.It will greatly increase in size.

Explanation:

When a disease kills most members of the predator population, the pressure on the prey population decreases because there are fewer predators to hunt and kill the prey. As a result, the prey species is likely to experience a population increase. This is because, with fewer predators, more prey individuals survive to reproduce, leading to a growth in the prey population over time.

Here's why the other options are less likely:

A.It will also be killed by the disease: This is not likely because the disease specifically affected the predator population. In most cases, diseases in one species don't automatically spread to other species unless it's a disease that affects both, which is not specified here.
