Solution

The correct options are
A Due to being hunted endlessly by hominids.
B Due to the changing weather conditions.
Once the hominids finished hunting all the animals in their area and ended up using all the nearby resources from the forests, they used to move around in search of more food. This rapid hunting did not give the animals enough time to reproduce, and as a result, many went extinct. Another reason was the changing environment and how many species were unable to adapt to it.
