Answer:

Option:(III)- During recent times, as the Holocene extinction, which is also termed as the "sixth extinction". Which was all due to the human activities which caused the extinction of more then 75% of the species of population on earth. Whipping out entire races from the face of this land.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Holocene extinction:

It happened some 100 to 200 thousand of years back in the time. Due, to the high rate of haunting species by the humans on the different continents it lead to the extinction of a number of species. As human population grew more on the isolated islands, which had large number of precious fauna. Eventually, human as a predator by all means haunted different species with any level of control on diet, as took all the resources for granted.
