    Both patch sizes are small and distant from one another.

    Explanation:

    Population can be defined as the total number of inhabitants at a particular place. When few individuals inhabit a small patch, the resources per capita are smaller and it negatively affects the reproductive success and survival of the next generation. Thus, the extinction probability may increase in patches of small sizes and distant from each other.
