A.
an increase in the human population due to increased availability of plant and animal resources
B.
a population increase for the majority of plant and animal populations used by humans as resources
C.
a decrease in the biodiversity of plant and animal populations available for humans to use as resources
D.
a decrease in the demand for plant and animal resources used by the human population

The most likely impact of droughts caused by climate change is:
**C. a decrease in the biodiversity of plant and animal populations available for humans to use as resources.**
Droughts can lead to habitat loss, stress on plant and animal populations, and a decline in species that cannot adapt to the changing conditions, ultimately reducing biodiversity.
