Hint: A habitat is where an organism establishes its base of operations. Land conversion for development by expanding populations, mining for resources, cutting down trees for paper goods, and, of course, agriculture are just a few of the factors that contribute to habitat loss.

Step by step solution:

All of the environmental requirements are met in the habitat for an organism to survive. That refers to everything an animal requires in order to find and get food, choose a partner, and procreate successfully. Eight environments will be our main focus: the Polar, Tundra, Evergreen, Seasonal, Grassland, Desert, Rainforest, and Ocean. These ecosystems span a sizable portion of the entire planet.
Humans contribute to habitat deterioration through practices including resource extraction, manufacturing, and urbanization. The primary human cause is pressure from agriculture. Urban sprawl, mining, logging, and trawling are a few others.
So, option (A) is correct.
Note: The maintenance of biodiversity depends on the preservation of habitats. Since they frequently occupy multiple natural habitats, migratory species are especially sensitive to habitat degradation. This makes it necessary to protect not only the two habitats used by migratory species, but also their migration path.
