Answer:

D)It will lead to forced migration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Forced migration is an involuntary, sudden movement of organisms from one geographical location to another. This is often in response to short term environmental changes such as drought, famine, etc

When an ecosystem suddenly comes under stress due to these short term environmental changes, organisms may not be left with any other choice but to move or go to new locations in the quest for survival. The organisms may not have left the ecosystem in the absence of such short term ecological stress. This is what is meant by forced migration.
