Question

Responses

The crop withstands extremes in weather, such as heavy rains or drought.

Only a few animals visit the field to eat the plants.

The plants produce a variety of food crops, some more valuable than others.

A disease or animal pest spreads quickly through the plants in the field.

Answer 1

The outcome that is most likely is:

A disease or animal pest spreads quickly through the plants in the field.

Low biodiversity means that a field has fewer different species of plants, which can make it more vulnerable to diseases and pests, as they may affect all the plants in the field rather than just a few.
