The developer works with an environmental engineer to choose which of the habitats should be saved.  The environmental engineer suggests that Site C should be saved.  Which of the following choices best justifies this decision?Responses  A)   Site C has greater species richness and species evenness than either Site A or Site B.  This will promote the maximum sustainability for future generations of animals.     B)   Site C is tied with Site A for greatest species richness, but unlike Site A, it has representative species from all 3 of the sites within it.     C)  Site C not only contains the greatest number of species, it also has the greatest genetic diversity within each species.     D)   Site C has more unique species in it than either Site A or Site B
