Solution
The correct option is D Low stability and high resilience
The stability of an ecosystem depends on species diversity, complexity of food webs and rate of nutrient cycling. More the species diversity, greater the complexity of food web and higher the rate of nutrient cycling; greater will be stability. More the stability more will be productivity of the ecosystem. If an ecosystem, can be easily damaged it means that stability is low. For example, man-made or artificial ecosystems have low stability. But if the ecosystem can recover fast it means high resilience. High resilience may be due to human intervention or secondary colonisation of fast growing plants and rapidly settling animals.
