Correct Answer:
C. Because it supports pollinators and maintains healthy soil
Explanation:
Biodiversity is vital for agriculture because it sustains essential ecosystem services like pollination and the maintenance of fertile soil. A diverse range of plants and animals ensures that various pollinators, such as bees and birds, are available to help crops reproduce, while a variety of soil organisms break down organic matter to provide necessary nutrients. This biological variety also helps pest control and climate resilience, creating a more stable and productive farming environment compared to monocultures.
