• C. Increased human population
• D. Hunting and poaching activities

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A Developmental activities
B Extension of cultivation
C Increased human population

• Human interference has resulted in some severe damage to the environment.
• Developmental activities have destroyed several large natural ecosystems.
• Along with these, agriculture is another major reason for the loss of ecosystems, since humans require more and more land for cultivating crops.
• Increase in population leads to the requirement of more space for housing.
• Poaching and hunting, while it destroys wildlife, doesn't cause deforestation.
