The correct answer is:
C. Typically, if one link in the food web is removed, the ecosystem will remain stable.
In a diverse ecosystem with many different species, the interconnections among species in the food web can provide resilience. While the removal of one species can impact the food web, a healthy ecosystem typically has enough redundancy and alternative pathways to maintain stability.
