Question

The rapid growth of the human population during the last two centuries is INDIRECTLY responsible for which environmental concern, that in turn, will lead to future species extinction? A). ozone depletion. B). habitat fragmentation. C). decreased biodiversity. D). fossil fuel consumption

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B, habitat fragmentation

Step-by-step explanation:

Habitat fragmentation basically includes the separation of habitat from each other in such a way that each small patch of habitat has no linkages in any form with other habitats. In such isolated habitats, there exists discontinuous resource supply, disoriented occupancy conditions etc. There is extreme loss to biodiversity in this way as diversity exists only when inter species interactions are allowed

Answer 2

The rapid growth of the human population during the last two centuries is indirectly responsible for which environmental concern, that in turn, will lead to future species extinction is decreased biodiversity. The correct answer C.
