b)the burning of fossil fuels
c)the removal of trees for lumber .

Answer 1

Question 1 is A. low genetic diversity
question 2 is A. forest fires

Answer 2

1 The correct answer is (A) low genetic diversity.

If a population is having a high genetic variability then there is a high chances that the species will survive and reproduce in harsh conditions. Variation provides the reason for the survival of species. If a specie is having low genetic diversity then there are chances that the species can lie into endangered species.

2 The correct answer is (A) forest fires

A forest fire can be caused by both natural forces and human activities. Human beings can also aid to forest fire for the construction work in that particular area. A natural force can also aid to forest fire by any means.
