Plankton is at the bottom of a food chain. Think of a pond. Mosquito larvae are in a pond. They eat the plankton. Small fish eat the larvae. Larger fish eat those smaller fish and the chain keeps going..BUTTT it all started with the PLANKTON. Without the plankton the whole food chain would be messed up and everything would start dying.. No plankton, no larvae, no small fish..and so on..

<em>The correct option is B) the total variety of organisms on Earth</em>

Explanation:

Biodiversity can be described as the diversity or variety of life present on Earth. The variety of plants and animals which are located in different habitats make up the biodiversity. Biodiversity is the reason that different variety exist between members of a species. Biodiversity tends to favour those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment.
