The outcome that is most likely in a farm field with low biodiversity is:
**3. A disease or animal pest spreads quickly through the plants in the field.**
Low biodiversity means there are fewer different species of plants, which can lead to increased vulnerability to diseases and pests. If a disease or pest targets one type of plant, it can spread quickly through the entire field, as there are fewer alternatives for the pests or pathogens to encounter.
