Solution

The correct options are
A Overhunting
B Pollution
C Habitat destruction
The main cause for the loss of biodiversity can be attributed to the influence of human beings on the world’s ecosystem. In fact, human beings have deeply altered the environment and have modified the territory, exploiting the species directly, for example by overhunting and destroying their habitat. Pollution is yet another major reason for the loss of biodiversity.
