These are regarded as major causes of biodiversity loss:
A. Over exploitation
B. Co-extinction
C. Mutation
D. Habitat loss and fragmentation
E. Migration
Choose the correct opisdn:
A. Over exploitation
B. Co-extinction
C. Mutation
D. Habitat loss and fragmentation
E. Migration
Choose the correct opisdn:
- A, C and D only
- A, B, C and D only
- A, B and E only
- A, B and D only
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The major causes of biodiversity loss include:
- Overexploitation (A) – Overharvesting of resources leading to depletion of species.
- Co-extinction (B) – The extinction of one species leading to the extinction of another species that depends on it.
- Habitat loss and fragmentation (D) – Destruction of habitats leading to reduced biodiversity.
Mutation (C) and Migration (E) are not direct causes of biodiversity loss.
Thus, the correct answer is (4) A, B, and D only.
