Captive breeding has helped revive wildlife such as the Eurasian beaver, the cheetah and the Arabian Onyx. Several species have been reintroduced into locations in order that the ecological balance is restored. When herbivorous bandicoots were set free in the wild, they dug the ground and redistributed dry leaves and branches, reducing the chance of bush fires. But some predators may overhunt or threaten other vulnerable species. _________.

Correct Option: 3
- Incorrect. This option is too specific in focusing only on herbivorous animals, ignoring the broader implications of reintroducing various species.
- Incorrect. This option introduces an unfounded generalization about the dangers of carnivorous animals without considering the role of a balanced ecosystem.
- Correct. This option appropriately concludes that the impact on the ecosystem depends on the specific behaviors and roles of the reintroduced species, reflecting the complexity and nuance discussed throughout the paragraph.
- Incorrect. This option overly simplifies the issue by suggesting all species be revived without considering the ecological consequences mentioned earlier in the paragraph.
