In an ecosystem with low biodiversity, the removal of a species will disturb the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it.

This option correctly reflects the potential consequences of losing a species in a low biodiversity setting, where the loss of a species can lead to a disruption in ecological balance, as there may not be another species that can fulfill the ecological role of the one that was removed.
