The correct answer is: C.It will decrease due to massive habitat destruction.

Continued global temperature rise is expected to have significant negative effects on biodiversity. As temperatures increase, many ecosystems, such as coral reefs, wetlands, and polar regions, are at risk of destruction or severe alteration.

Species may not be able to adapt or migrate quickly enough to survive in the changing conditions, leading to habitat loss, fragmentation, and declines in species populations. Extreme weather events, such as droughts, storms, and heatwaves, will also exacerbate these impacts.

The other options are less likely:

A.It will have no effect as there is plenty of time for organisms to adapt: Organisms may struggle to adapt quickly enough to the rapid pace of climate change, and many species face extinction without time to evolve or migrate.

B.It will increase due to warmer temperatures: Warmer temperatures alone do not guarantee increased biodiversity. In fact, many species cannot tolerate higher temperatures, and this can lead to extinctions.

D.It will increase due to greater plant production from more
