Solution

The correct option is B

large habitats are broken up into small fragments


Habitat loss and fragmentation is the most important cause driving animals and plants to extinction. Animals are finding their homes destroyed to the point that their survival is no longer possible. Habitat loss and degradation affect 86% of all threatened birds, 86% of mammals and 88% of threatened amphibians.
