Answer:

d. with small, limited geographic ranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Extinction is defined as thhe state in which envionment has loss of some species, family, or larger group being.

The species that will have more risk of extinction due to habitat destruction are those species having small, limited geographic ranges. Habitat destruction may be man-made (construction of buildings, highways etcetra.) or natural ( natural disasters such as wildfire), which can make difficulty for the animals with small or limited geographic ranges as they are not able to survive with the condition of other habitat and can be extinct soon.

Hence, the correct option is d. "with small, limited geographic ranges".
