The most likely outcome of low biodiversity in a farm field is:
**A disease or animal pest spreads quickly through the plants in the field.**
Low biodiversity means that there are fewer varieties of plants, which makes it easier for diseases or pests to spread because there are not many different types of plants to create resistance or buffer against these threats.
