Which one of the following statements cannot be connected to Predation?
It helps in maintaining species diversity in a community
It might lead to extinction of a species
Both the interacting species are negatively impacted
It is necessitated by nature to maintain the ecological balance
In predation, one species (predator) benefits while the other (prey) is harmed. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that both interacting species are negatively impacted. Predators help maintain species diversity by reducing competition among prey species, though over-exploitation can lead to prey extinction.
