The clue to focus on is

most organisms can tolerate following facts that show this delicate balance. Very easy to alter.

A and D are the synonyms to use to fill the blank.

Hope this helps.

I ended up choosing the right answer, however i was wondering why do we not consider weak? Since that is also a synonym of delicate/fragile

The amazonia ecosystem is fragile and delicate . We describe as important to preserve. We do not say it is weak

The sense of the sentence rules out weak for this reason.
