Answer:

The correct answer is option B which is habitat change.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The big cause in the extinction of many terrestrial vertebrates species is the hunting while the second cause is the habitat change.
  • terrestrial vertebrates are more sensitive to their habitat than other problems like pollution.
  • A habitat is a natural environment which is suitable for a specie to live, to reproduce and to get food.
  • Hence if the habitat change, they are unable to survive and their population size will decrease considerably.
