Solution

The correct option is A directly proportional to each other

The rate of increase in human population is directly proportional to the rate of species extinction because, humans try to exploit the surrounding environment for their benefits. For instance, with increase in human population, food requirements increase due to which forests are destroyed and converted to agricultural land, which leads to species extinction caused by habitat destruction.
