Question

read this part of the text. mcvoy believes it is most important to bring back the original
a roadways.
b reservoirs.
c human activities.
d water flow.
odyssey: why does all of this matter?
mcvoy: in this system, its hugely important. sloughs and sawgrass each support different plants, fish, and other animals. when the patterning is lost, sloughs are replaced by sawgrass, forcing out slough species. because the patterning is all formed by the underlying peat elevation, the original hydrology - water depths, flow directions, and flow amounts - is necessary to sustain the landscape patterns and the organisms that depend on them.

Explanation:

The text mentions that the original hydrology - water depths, flow directions and flow amounts - is necessary to sustain the landscape patterns and organisms. Water flow is a key part of hydrology. So McVoy believes it is most important to bring back the original water flow.

Answer:

D. water flow
