Supplementation of populations is sometimes part of recovery plans for declining populations or species.

Which of the following statements is most likely to be true?
1) Supplementation of the population will involve introducing new individuals from a different population.
2) Supplementation of the population will involve providing additional resources to the existing individuals.
3) Supplementation of the population will involve removing individuals from the population.
4) Supplementation of the population will have no effect on the decline.
