• B. exploitation of species
• C. use of biological fertilisers
• D. preservation of species

Answer 1

The correct option is D preservation of species

Creation of wildlife reserves and enforcement of laws are conservation measures that promote increased preservation of species. It is estimated that tropical forests are losing 2 - 5 species per hour or 14,000 - 40,000 species per year. If the current rate of species extinction goes on unabated, 50% of species are liable to die out by the end of ${21}^{st}$ century.
