All of these choices are correct based on the scenario described. The hawk appears to use both pine and oak trees as suitable shelter and preys on chipmunks, which serve as a food source for the hawk. The chipmunks, in turn, feed on seeds in their environment, which can include bird feeders like the one in the scenario.
