Question

big agriculture turns land into fields by cutting down trees and running the animals out. deforestation and habitat fragmentation can lead directly to ____________. a.) a decrease in agricultural production b.) a decrease in the human population c.) an increase in the number of endangered species d.) an increase in biodiversity

Explanation:

Deforestation and habitat fragmentation destroy the natural living - spaces of many species, which often leads to a rise in the number of endangered species as they lose their habitats and resources. It does not directly cause a decrease in agricultural production (it may initially increase it by clearing land for farming), nor does it directly lead to a decrease in human population or an increase in biodiversity.

Answer:

C. an increase in the number of endangered species
