Answer:

(D) Increased susceptibility to plant disease- if corn is more susceptible to plant diseases, then it will be at a risk of extinction.

Genetic diversity is used to create improved crop varieties with traits such as yield, pest resistance and environment stress. Lack of genetic diversity in corn will make it susceptible to plant diseases and be at risk of extinction.

Explanation:

The Monroe Doctrine was a policy adopted by the United States that held that Europe and the Americas were to maintain separate spheres of influence. The policy was first adopted in 1823, although it wasn't until 1850 that it became known as the "Monroe Doctrine." At that time nearly all Latin American countries had gained their independence from Spain and Portugal.
