The graph shows that the value of sustainable ecosystems is generally several times greater than the value of those converted entirely to human use. This can be seen by comparing the height of the bars representing the different ecosystem services. The bars for sustainable ecosystems are generally taller than the bars for converted ecosystems. Therefore, option B is the best choice as it accurately reflects the information presented in the graph.
