GuDViN [60]2 years ago

Answer:

Option D,  it has a strong influence on the ecosystem

Explanation:

Keystone species are an essential part of an ecosystem and their functions/mark cannot be replaced by any other organism. Once the keystone species is removed from an ecosystem, the ecosystem struggles to sustain  or it changes radically. A keystone species in majority of ecosystems/food web is a predator but this is not true in all ecosystems/or with all keystone species.
