Question 6 • Biology

A new highly nutritious crop is going to be planted in an area where it has never been planted before. Which is the most likely outcome of such an event?

Answer
A
negative as it threatens local biodiversity
B
positive as it changes local biodiversity
C
positive as it malnourishes the local population
D
negative as it malnourishes the local population

Explanation

Introducing a crop to an area where it has never grown can disrupt the existing ecosystem. It may spread, compete with native plants for resources, or otherwise change habitats, threatening local biodiversity. A nutritious crop would not be expected to malnourish the population, so the most likely outcome is negative for biodiversity.
