The granting of a protected status to wolves in Europe.

The shutting down of the royal office of the Luparii.
C.
An increase in woodlands and forest cover in Lozère.
D.

A decline in the rural population of Lozère.

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

The passage states that the granting of a protected status to wolves in Europe, an increase in woodlands and forest cover in France and a decline in the rural population of Lozère have contributed to a growing wolf population in Lozère. The Luparii, according to the passage 'completed their job in the 1930s, when the last wolf disappeared from the mainland'. The shutting down of the royal office of the Luparii is hence not a factor contributing to the growing wolf population in Lozère.
