Aloss of species diversity in the oceans would most likely result in a shortage of which of these?
a)
food
medications
minerals
d)
mountains

The correct answer is A) food

Explanation:

Species diversity indicates a total number of different species that live in a community. If the species diversity is more then the community contains more number of individuals of different species.

So if the number of individuals decreases in a species than the species diversity will decrease. In an ecosystem, one species is dependent on another species for its survival because a species present on upper trophic level consume the species of its lower trophic level.

So if there is a loss of species diversity in lower trophic levels in the oceans then it will result in a shortage of food for upper trophic level.
