The correct option is C.
The recovery process is used to remove refrigerant from an AC system in order to store it in an external container. The refrigerant has to be removed because it destroys ozone layer and cause global warming. It also has negative effects on the living organisms generally.<span />
Predators are the keystone species because they limit the population of prey.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Predators are those species which hunt for other animals to consume them as food and live. Where prey are those animals who are being hunted and killed by predators.
Keystone species are those species whose absence or removal from a ecosystem will greatly reduce the diversity from the ecosystem to a huge extent.
Now, if a predator like lion is eliminated from the ecosystem, then the prey like deer, goats etc in the ecosystem will live and reproduce at a very high rate, which will greatly increase the population density of these species. So the food for them will be killed at a very high rate, decreasing the plant varieties and population. So the overall diversity in the ecosystem will be highly reduced.
So the predators like lions, tigers, etc are the keystone species of an ecosystem.
A rain shadow is a patch of land that has been forced to become a desert because mountain ranges blocked all plant-growing, rainy weather. On one side of the mountain, wet weather systems drop rain and snow. On the other side of the mountain—the rain shadow side—all that precipitation is blocked.
The type of mutation seen is germline mutation
