The correct options are
A Decline in the fish population due to excessive fishing
B Excessive cultivation of crops

Over exploitation is the excessive use of a natural resource. Excessive fishing, and excessive deforestation for industrialisation and cultivation of crops are examples of over exploitation. Pumping of groundwater which leads to the decline in the groundwater levels is another example of over exploitation.
