Answer 1

the correct answer is B a more biodiverse ecosystem has a higher chance of adapting to species changes

Answer 2

b. A more biodiverse ecosystem has a higher chance of adapting to species changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

An ecosystem with higher biodiversity exhibit species richness in terms of variations in the species composition and their functions. The ecosystem with high level of species richness has multiple food webs and biotic interactions which in turn ensure to maintain the stability after any natural or man-made disturbance that affects its species composition.
