The preservation of land refers to trying to minimize the human intervention on a certain habitat, which benefits that habitat to maintain its original balance and that of the diversity that inhabits it.

The other options, logging, building roadways, and clearing land for homes, all involve human intervention to modify the environment, which inherently causes habitat destruction as a consequence.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is option B.
