Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) food

Step-by-step 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.
