A)Increased susceptibility to regional droughts
B)Reduced biodiversity due to monoculture crops
C)Enhanced soil fertility through nutrient cycling✓
D)Greater vulnerability to crop diseases
💡 Explanation
Chinampas utilized nutrient cycling because sediment dredged from canals provided a continuous supply of organic matter, enriching the soil and boosting fertility sustaining high yields over extended periods. Therefore enhanced soil fertility was observed, rather than the listed alternatives which result from different agriculture processes with different constraint.
