Which of the following might be affected by the loss of a plant species?

Answer
A
Only organisms that feed directly off the lost plant species will be affected.
B
Other plant species will be affected, but no other organisms will.
C
Multiple organisms may be affected by the loss of a plant species.
D
No other organisms would be affected.

Explanation

A plant species can support many organisms, not just those that eat it directly. Its loss may affect herbivores, predators that depend on those herbivores, and other species that rely on the plant for shelter or other resources. Therefore, the correct choice is “Multiple organisms may be affected by the loss of a plant species.”
