Question

Which of the following is not a likely result of destruction of wetlands? A. healthy fish populations. B. decline in plant and animal populations C. increased frequency of floods D. pollution of nearby streams​. PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Answer: Option A) healthy fish populations.

Explanation:

Wetlands include swamps and marsh. i.e areas of land covered with water.

Once, wetlands are destroyed by human activities there would be:

- a reduction in the population of plant and animal that rely on its native organisms due to starvation.

- increased frequency of floods since excess water can no longer be collected there

- pollution of nearby streams​ as rain will wash off materials into them

However, healthy fish populations does not happen since producers like plankton eaten by the fishes are also destroyed.

Thus, healthy fish populations is the unlikely outcome
