Elephants shape their environment in many ways. they can change a forest to a grassy field or dig a hole that might become a pond. they clear large amounts of vegetation, which removes habitats for some organisms but makes the area inviting for other organisms. which best describes possible interactions of elephants with the surrounding ecosystem?
a) positive
b) negative
c) neither positive nor negative
d) both positive and negative

Option D, Both positive and negative

Explanation:

The interaction of elephants with their surrounding environment is both positive and negative based on the impacts created by their set of action.  

For example –  

The impacts of elephant are positive when it dig a hole which ultimately turns into a pond or when clearing large vegetation invites new organisms into the existing habitat.

The impacts of elephant are negative when it converts a forest into a grassland, or when it clear large amount of vegetation which leads to destruction of habitats  

Thus, the impacts produced by the interaction of elephant with their environment is both positive and negative.
