Question

which of the following has the most potential of experiencing background extinction based on the natural disruption described? a population observing a natural volcano erupting on a remote island every year. a population that lost their habitat due to a hurricane lasting several hours. a species that will not grow during a specific season every year. a species that struggles to compete for resources due to limited access from habitat loss.

Explanation:

Background extinction is a natural process. A species struggling to compete for resources due to habitat loss is more likely to experience background extinction as it is a long - term, ongoing decline due to environmental changes. Seasonal non - growth, short - term hurricane - induced habitat loss, and annual volcanic eruptions on a remote island are more likely to be temporary disruptions rather than long - term factors leading to background extinction.

Answer:

A species that struggles to compete for resources due to limited access from habitat loss
