a. expanding urban areas
b. reducing greenhouse gas emissions
c. increasing fossil fuel use
d. promoting deforestation

Explanation:

To determine the practice that mitigates climate change impacts on biodiversity, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Expanding urban areas destroys habitats, harming biodiversity and worsening climate change impacts.
• Option b: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions slows climate change, which helps preserve biodiversity as stable climates support ecosystems.
• Option c: Increasing fossil fuel use increases greenhouse gases, accelerating climate change and harming biodiversity.
• Option d: Promoting deforestation reduces carbon sequestration and destroys habitats, worsening climate change and biodiversity loss.

Answer:

b. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
