Respuesta :
Answer: A.) Large die-offs in the affected areas reduce the number of species.
Explanation:
The oil spill may cover the superficial layers of water. This will restrict the dissolution of oxygen from the atmosphere into the water. This will deplete the amount of oxygen in water. This may lead to the death of the organisms living in the water body. The large number of deaths of particular members of the species can affect other species of the ecosystem which are dependent upon the dying species. Therefore, the entire biodiversity of the region will be affected.
