B.
Plant biodiversity would likely increase because removing one population from an ecosystem would allow more resources for all the others.
C.
Plant biodiversity would likely increase because only a few of the remaining plant species would be able to thrive without the herbivores.
D.
Plant biodiversity would likely decrease because every species of plant could grow without limitation after the herbivores were removed.
