c. Forest canopy
d. co extinction​

Answer 1

Answer:

c)Forest canopy

Explanation:

a)Invasive species will cause imbalance in area- will not favour

b)Glaciation is formation of glaciers- not relevant

d)Will not favour anybody

Answer 2

One of the following factors that favor species diversity is the Forest canopy. (option - c)

• Forest serves as a habitat for a large number of different species of birds and animals and provides both shelter and food.
• The Forest canopy also provides favorable conditions for the growth of sciophytes which are shade-loving plants allowing different varieties to grow together and hence increasing diversity.
• Many types of animals such as monkeys live on the branches of trees.
• Invasive species are those that show voracious growth and spread to the whole place rapidly depleting the place of natural resources, nutrients and leading to the extinction of indigenous species of that place by intraspecific competition for resources.
• This leads to the growth of only invasive species(1 type) hampering diversity enrichment.
• Glaciation does not provide favorable growth for most of the species, only cold-resistant organisms can grow there supporting less diversity.
• Co extinction i.e. mass death or vanishing of species from Earth will decrease species diversity.

Note: Intraspecific competition is competition between different species.
