Solution
The correct options are
A Hunting of wild animals
B Destruction of habitats
There are many reasons why an animal species can become extinct. Wild animals are hunted for flesh, fur and also for ivory. Habitat destruction leads to natural habitat being rendered unable to support the species present due to which the organisms that previously used the site are displaced or destroyed. These two are the primary reasons why animals become extinct.
Ozone depletion and pollution of air and water while a serious threat to the environment, doesn't exactly directly result in extinction.
