Explanation:

• Reclamation (A): Usually refers to creating new land from water (like land - reclamation from the sea), which can destroy aquatic habitats.
• Reforestation (B): Is the process of replanting trees in an area that has been deforested. It helps in restoring habitats, especially forest habitats.
• Urban sprawl (C): The unplanned expansion of urban areas. As cities expand, they often encroach on natural habitats (such as forests, grasslands, wetlands), destroying them to build houses, roads, and other urban infrastructure.
• Water conservation (D): Focuses on saving water resources. It does not lead to habitat destruction; rather, it can have positive impacts on water - dependent habitats by ensuring an adequate water supply.
