Question

6 which three of the following would be most likely to develop as a result of the conditions shown the after picture? a an increase in the traditional members of the ecosystem b a potential increase in the numbers of types of new organisms in the ecosystems c a reduction in the stability of the ecosystem

Explanation:

The "after" image shows a degraded ecosystem (muddy, less vegetation) compared to the "before" (lush green). A degraded ecosystem has reduced stability (option C) because biodiversity and structural integrity decline. Traditional members (A) would likely decrease, and new organism types (B) are less likely to increase in a degraded system. So C is correct as ecosystem stability reduces with degradation.

Answer:

C. a reduction in the stability of the ecosystem
