You and your friend see a local news report that claims a species of coral is going to be driven extinct by ocean acidification that results from global warming.  Your friend claims “That news story is just an example of sensationalism. Furthermore, it is just one species, and so it’s not that big of a deal.”  What is the best response you can make to your friend?单项选择题

A

“I agree. It’s just one species and the earth has hundreds of billions of other species.”

B

“I agree. It is sensational. Global warming is happening so slowly that species are not even really in any danger. They can all simply adapt to higher temperatures.”

C

“I disagree. Communities are complex, if one species goes extinct we do not know about the wider influence on the entire community and ecosystem.”

D

“I agree. Coral is really just rocks, so in reality non-living things cannot go extinct.”
