Answer 1

D. Keystone

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it from a bridge building perspective the keystone in an arc bridge was the tip or the highest point if that stone was pulled out all of the other stones would fall out with it, same goes for ecosystems if that one species declines dramatically or goes extinct then the rest of the population will proceed to do so as well
