Solution
The correct option is A Mining
Hunting is a threat to wild animals. It will decrease the population of wild animals. Overfishing is a threat to the marine population, which in turn, affects marine biodiversity.
Mining activity requires a huge amount of water, which will decrease the water table in the area. And also due to careless and reckless mining, leaching of minerals into ground water leads to water pollution, making the area's water unfit for human usage. This further causes water shortage.
