Answer:

The correct answer is - option C. alligators; their tails dig holes that hold water during times of drought, and this water is used as a source for drinking water by many species.

Explanation:

Beavers are keystone species as they help other species to get habitat and also help plants to grow by the holes or dams they make. Kudzu is a keystone species of an ornamental plant which lowers the soil erosion in their abundance.

Red cocaded woodpecker is a keystone species as they create pits in the pine trees that are helpful for other species to live.

Alligators also keystone species but not for digging holes and hold water but the influencing the prey and maintaining the animals in the ecosystem.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) arachnoid mater.

Explanation:

Arachnoid mater, along with pia mater and dura mater, form the meninges, a very thick membrane that protects the brain and the spinal cord. The arachnoid mater is in the middle of the other two layers and it is very important since it holds the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in its interior. Arachnoid mater has finger-like projections that enter the dural venous sinuses and are called arachnoid villi. These villi are responsible for the diffusion of CSF into the blood.
