a. ecosystems
b. biodiversity
c. biomass
d. carrying capacity

B. biodiversity

Explanation:

The forests and the grasslands are the reserves of biodiversity of flora and fauna. The clearing of the forests and grassland will remove the vegetation from the area which will lead to the reduction of the fauna species from the area because of the loss of habitat. Although the agriculture will facilitate the growth of few crops but this may not be able to compensate the loss of large biodiversity.
