Solution

Overexploitation of natural resources by humans has caused many negative impacts on the environment. Natural resources like coal, petrol, natural gas are limited and their excess use will lead to their depletion. Once used, these resources are lost forever as they are non-renewable. Overexploitation of natural resources like forests has resulted in deforestation and this will lead to habitat loss of many species of animals and microorganisms. Climate change and global warming are other harmful impacts of overexploitation of natural resources.
So, the correct answer is 'environmental problems'
