A new highly nutritious crop is going to be planted in an area where it has never been planted before. Which is the most likely outcome of such an event?

Introducing a crop to an area where it has never grown before can allow it to spread and compete with native plants. This may disrupt local ecosystems and reduce biodiversity, making the likely outcome negative. Choice C, “negative as it threatens local biodiversity,” best describes this risk; a nutritious crop would not be expected to malnourish the local population.
