Vedclass · Answer

(B) The 'Rivet Popper' hypothesis was proposed by the ecologist $Paul \ Ehrlich$. This hypothesis uses the analogy of an airplane to explain the importance of biodiversity. In this analogy,the ecosystem is compared to an airplane,and the species are compared to the rivets holding the parts together. If passengers start popping rivets (removing species) one by one,the flight safety is initially unaffected,but as more rivets are removed,the plane becomes dangerously weak and eventually crashes,representing the collapse of the ecosystem.

The 'Rivet Popper' hypothesis was proposed by $................$.
