Solution

The correct option is C All of the above

Habitat loss and fragmentation is one of the major causes for the loss of biodiversity that dives plant and animal species to the pit of extinction.

The major reason behind destruction of habitats is the rising human population and human activities such as cutting down forests for agricultural purposes, pollution, clearing vegetation for setting up industries, residences, etc.

Destruction of such large habitats often leads to their fragmentation into smaller habitats.

Birds and mammals that require large territories and animals that migrate to adapt to changing environmental conditions are adversely affected by such fragmentations.

It causes a decline in their population size.
