Question

Wildlife is destroyed most when-
a. There is a lack of proper care
b. Mass scale hunting for foreign trade
c. Its natural habitat is destroyed
d. Natural calamity

Answer 1

Globally the environmental change has adversely impacted or contributed to the destruction of the most ecological systems on our planet, and many animals are becoming increasingly worried about their well-being and survival.

Complete answer:

Option A is incorrect. Human, plant, and aquatic habitats maintain functional ecosystems. Healthy environments allow us to survive, to get enough food to eat and to live. Ecosystems and people, especially the poorest in the world, suffer when species disappear or decline in number.

Option B is incorrect. The persistent pursuit to kill or capture wild or game animals for economic or personal benefit, or food. People continue to rely on wildlife for many needs in many parts of the world, and it is the act of killing, trapping, or shooting more animals than their habitats can produce that leads to the overhunting.

Option C is correct. The most significant threat to biodiversity is habitat destruction. The world's forests, swamps, fields, reservoirs, and other habitats begin to disappear as they are drained for human use and clear to make room for characteristics of farms, houses, highways, pipelines, and other industrial growth.

Option D is incorrect. Every year thousands are killed and wounded in tornadoes, forest fires, flooding, and other disasters. Land and natural habitat loss impact the food chain since certain animals cannot hunt. While the damage can appear irreparable, it is not necessarily harmful to the effect on wildlife.

So, the correct answer is Option C.

Note: The concern for the well-being and survival of many species in their natural habitat is the introduction of invasive organisms, pathogen spill-over, accumulation of persistent toxins, climate change or stratospheric ozone depletion, and physical and biological processes have been altered by global environmental change.
