Answer 1

Answer: B. plant population would suffer because the soil would have fewer available nutrients.

Explanation:

Earthworms are called a farmer's best friend as they make the soil more fertile. When earthworms purify the soil it makes it easier for the plants to grow as the soil is mineral rich. Decrease in the population of earthworms would make it difficult for the plants to grow because of the less fertile soil.
