Question

Find the correct match of the waves of extinction with their sequence of appearance and their driving forces.

$$\begin{array}{cccc}\text{S.No}& \text{Sequence}& \text{Wave of extinction}& \text{Driving force}\\ i.& 1^{st}& \text{Hunting}& \text{Food}\\ ii.& 2^{nd}& \text{Agriculture}& \text{Commercial needs and hunger}\\ iii.& 3^{rd}& \text{Harnessing of fossil fuel}& \text{Need of coal, oil and natural gas}\end{array}$$

• A. (i) and (ii)
• B. (ii) and (iii)
• C. (i) and (iii)
• D. (i), (ii) and (iii)

Answer 1

The correct option is D (i), (ii) and (iii)
