Answer:The answer is D: Loss of habitat

Step-by-step explanation:

Loss of habitat is an environmental cost of tar sands extraction.

Habitat is a natural environment where plants and animals live. It originated from the latin word “habitare” which means “to live or dwell”.

Loss of habitat is a great threat to species and whenever an habitat is been destroyed, the population decreases.
