A)Upwelling of colder ocean water, increased sunlight B)Introduction of invasive species, increased deforestation C)Decreased human population, increased agricultural expansion D)Increased colonization, decreased extinction rate

Answer 1

B)Introduction of invasive species, increased deforestation

Step-by-step explanation:
