Which of the following is a consequence of climate change that threatens biodiversity?
-
A.
Expansion of natural habitats
-
B.
Increased agricultural yields
-
C.
Decrease in human population
-
D.
Melting ice caps affecting polar habitats
Correct Answer:
D. Melting ice caps affecting polar habitats
Explanation:
Climate change causes a significant rise in global temperatures, leading to the rapid melting of polar ice caps and glaciers. This phenomenon directly destroys the critical frozen environments that species like polar bears and seals depend on for survival and reproduction. As these habitats vanish, biodiversity in polar regions is severely threatened due to habitat loss and the disruption of local food webs.
