Solution

The correct option is B human migration

When humans migrate to new areas, they start exploiting the environment which lead to the extinction of many plants and animals.

Afforestation is the establishment of a forest in an area where there was no previous tree cover.

Reforestation is the replanting of trees in a deforested area where tree cover has been lost. This helps organisms to flourish in that area again.

Transpiration is the loss of excess water from the aerial parts of the plant through stomata in the form of water vapour.
