Solution

The correct option is C Pollution
Extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms, normally a species. Humans cause extinction of a species through over harvesting, pollution, habitat destruction, invasion of invasive species, over hunting and other influences. Although, earthquakes and diseases are the results of human activities but it does not cause any extinction of plant species.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
