Solution

The correct option is C Destruction of habitat
Destruction of habitat is the process in which natural habitat is rendered unable to support the species that lived in it. Increasing urbanization and industrialization has resulted in encroachment of forest areas leading to destruction of habitat. As a result, the natural flora and fauna have been endangered and some have become extinct. Thus the correct answer is option C.
