The answer will be D. The populations of many animal species would decrease.

Explanation:

We know that small animals live in this tundra ecosystem where there is little soil and fragile plants. If humans where to kill the plants and destroy the plants and land, then the animals would have no where to live. This would kill the mountain ecosystem.
