Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:

When natural habitats are destroyed or divided into smaller, isolated patches, it becomes difficult for species to survive and reproduce. This leads to a decline in population sizes and genetic diversity, ultimately driving many species to extinction.
