PLZZ help me with number 5!!!

the flagellates share a facultative mutualist association with termites. mutualism is a biological interaction between individuals of different species, where both benefit from each other. this is called cooperation and it differs from other interactions such as cases of exploitation, such as parasitism, predation. in this interaction called association, both species cooperate and benefit.

the right option is; decreased genetic variation  

decreased genetic variation describes the effect of this environmental change.

genetic variation is the naturally occurring genetic diversities or differences between organisms of the same species in a population. genetic variation allows the survival and adaptability of a species when they encounter changing environmental conditions. when an endangered species reduces, it loses genetic variation which may not be restored even if the species rebound and will only be recovered through the gradual collection of mutations over many years.
