Biodiversity is the degree of variation in life. That means it is a measure of the variety of organisms living in different ecosystems. Lot of human activities will influence biodiversity and will lead to its loss. A loss of biodiversity can be associated with human influence as part of the challenges facing science.
Thus the correction option is (a) loss of biodiversity.
Climate change and emerging diseases are all part of the challenges that face science, along with human influence. Hence, the options (b), (c), and (d) are incorrect.
