In an ecosystem with low biodiversity, the most accurate response would be:

disturb the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it.

Low biodiversity means there are fewer species, and the loss of any one species is more likely to have a significant impact on the ecosystem since there may not be similar species that can fulfill the same ecological roles.
