This is a question on evolution.
It is testing the various concepts of evolution that exist.
For instance, evolution could be due to.
1.) Natural selection
2.) Genetic variation.
3.) Adaptation to new environment etc.
From the above, the scientist wants to find out why there is a reduction of cheetah population.
It could be due to environmental changes or even natural selection.
Since we are not sure of the cause, we will take a general consideration which is environmental.
The answer is thus :
An evolutionary geneticist observing an environmental problem.

Theory of Natural Selection is the correct answer. Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations. Variation exists within all populations of organisms.
