The correct answer is:

B) If tropical rainforests are deforested, biodiversity and organism success suffers.

Tropical rainforests are known for their high levels of biodiversity, supporting numerous species of plants, animals, and microorganisms. Deforestation disrupts these ecosystems, leading to habitat loss and fragmentation, which adversely affects the survival and success of many organisms that depend on these habitats.
