Biodiversity, the diversity of life, is important for human and environmental health. Which threat represents the opposite of biodiversity?

Question

A. acid rain
B. clear-cut logging
C. monocultures
D. pollution of drinking water

Answer 1

C. monocultures

Monocultures represent the opposite of biodiversity because they involve growing a single crop or species in a given area, leading to a lack of diversity in the ecosystem. This can reduce resilience, disrupt ecological balance, and make the environment more susceptible to pests and diseases.
