2. There could be a drastic increase in the fungal infections of some cultivated plants.

Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Correct option is C

Butterflies play a vital role in the pollination of many flowering plants, so their declining number may have an adverse effect on the pollination of plants. Butterflies act as the lower member in the food chain. They are the meal of spiders, birds, snakes etc. Therefore, the drop in a number of butterflies can adversely affect the food chain.
