The correct answer is;

c. habitat loss

Step-by-step explanation:

Sediment can come from soil erosion or from the breakdown of plants and animals. Wind, water and ice help remove these particles from rivers, lakes, and streams. The Environmental Protection Agency lists sediment as the most widespread pollutant in rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs. Wetlands are states where water is the primary factor controlling the environment and associated plant and animal life. They can be freshwater or estuarine (located at the coast with salty water) or both. The formation of sediment is a habit loss to these plant and animal life it mostly affects plants.
