The answer is A. More abundant marine species

Upwelling will cause the movement of nutrient-rich water to the ocean surface. This will makes the water to have more nutrient, so there will be more photosynthesis happens. Photosynthesis will produce more food, so the amount of marine species that could survive would be higher.
