Healthy ecosystems depend on plant and animal species as their foundations. When a species becomes endangered, it is a sign that the ecosystem is slowly falling apart. If any animal species become extinct, man can not recreate it. Each species that is lost triggers the loss of other species within its ecosystem. Humans depend on healthy ecosystems for their lives. Thus, ecological balance will get disturbed.
So, the correct option is C.
