Correct answer: (b) Over exploitation by humans
Explanation:
Humans have always depended on nature for food and shelter but when ‘need’ turns to ‘greed’ it leads to over-exploitation of natural resources. In the last 500 years many species extinctions (Steller’s sea cow, passenger’s pigeon) were due to over-exploitation by human.
