Since plants primarily take in the gas of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to carry out photosynthesis, having fewer of these plants, these producers will result in an increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, at that area, the environment.

The correct answer is (d) It would have more carbon dioxide.

The green plants that is present in the environment utilizes the carbon dioxide present in the environment. This carbon dioxide is utilized in the process called photosynthesis, and as a result of that oxygen is released into the environment. If there would have lesser number of plants that carry out photosynthesis then the amount of carbon dioxide will increase in the atmosphere.
