The vertical distance between a standard reference point, such as sea level, and the top of an object or point on the earth, such as a mountain, is also referred to as
a. elevation
b. longitude
c. altitude
d. the scale

A. Elevation

Explanation:

longitude = map lines that are vertical

Altitude = Think planes how high from the ground something is (Elevation is also accounted for)

The scale = a measureing device that is used to find the weight of things.

therefore the best answer is:

A. Elvation - The heights above or below something most especially the sea (sea level)

the wrong statement is - c. a desert had more biodiversity than a marsh.

the deserts are one of the places of the planet where there's the least biodiversity. the reasons for that are the climate and the lack of food sources, which hampers both the number of the species that can survive in it, and the number of the individuals in the species itself.

the marshes, on the other hand, are places where there's perfect conditions for lots of organisms to thrive. the temperature is moderate and nice, the amount of water and the food sources are on a high level, so there's an abundance of both plant and animal life in them.
