Why is biodiversity important?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To maintain ecological balance in nature
Biodiversity is the variety of living organisms in an area. Different organisms support food webs, pollination, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem resilience. These relationships help ecosystems function and remain balanced. Increasing pollution, eliminating organisms, and contaminating water are harmful actions, not benefits of biodiversity; therefore option A is correct.
