Question

1. which factor is most responsible for ecosystem disruption?

a. deforestation and habitat loss
b. sustainable agriculture practices
c. water conservation efforts
d. use of electric transportation

Explanation:

To determine the factor most responsible for ecosystem disruption, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Deforestation and habitat loss directly destroy natural habitats, displace species, and disrupt ecological balances, which are major causes of ecosystem disruption.
• Option b: Sustainable agriculture practices aim to minimize negative impacts on ecosystems, so they do not cause disruption.
• Option c: Water conservation efforts help maintain water resources and support ecosystems, not disrupt them.
• Option d: Use of electric transportation reduces pollution and environmental harm compared to fossil - fuel - based transport, so it does not cause ecosystem disruption.

Answer:

a. Deforestation and habitat loss
