Which outcome occurs when certain host-specific insect microbiomes are disrupted?

A)Increased susceptibility to environmental stress
B)Enhanced nutrient absorption by the host
C)Improved immune response effectiveness
D)Greater tolerance to dietary toxins

💡 Explanation

Disruption of key insect microbiomes causes increased susceptibility to environmental stressors because the **dysbiosis mechanism** reduces synthesis of protective compounds. Therefore, insects become vulnerable, rather than thriving under stress, because vital defense is compromised.
