Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
Biodiversity acts as a stabilizing factor in ecosystems, therefore highly diverse ecosystems can act to reduce the impact of changes in the environment. Since humans are now altering so many environmental variables like atmospheric gases, surface temperatures, water quality, we should maintain as many areas with high biodiversity as possible. The more species, more it is likely that at least some will remain after environmental changes occur. Some species may also be capable of mitigating the effects of the changes.
