Solution

The correct option is B Edge effect
In ecology, edge effects refer to the changes in population or community structures, that occur at the boundary of two habitats. Areas with small habitat fragments exhibit especially pronounced edge effects that may extend throughout the range. As the edge effects increase, the boundary habitat allows for greater biodiversity.
