How can an increase in biodiversity lead to an increase in ecosystem stability?

Greater biodiversity means an ecosystem has more species that can perform similar roles. If one species declines or disappears, other species may help maintain those roles, making the ecosystem more likely to adapt and remain stable. Choice B, “a higher chance of adapting to species changes,” describes this benefit. Biodiversity does not prevent all change or natural disasters.
