Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Habitat loss and fragmentation are considered the primary reasons for the decline and extinction of species. When natural habitats are destroyed or divided into smaller, isolated patches, it becomes difficult for species to survive and reproduce. This leads to a decrease in biodiversity and increases the risk of extinction.
