Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

B - Species, especially ones with small niches, that looses their niches will likely die out or move to another location. Roads Will, in general, also disrupt the ecosystem (or the remains of it) and its inhabitants, which might lead to migration once again. That would be my reasoning at least. (:
