All of the listed factors can lead to the extinction of species. Deforestation of tropical forests can lead to loss of habitat and fragmentation of ecosystems, which can cause species to go extinct. Destruction of coral reefs can lead to the loss of habitat for marine species and can have a ripple effect on entire marine ecosystems. Destruction of wetlands can cause loss of habitat for many aquatic and terrestrial species. Plowing of grasslands can lead to the loss of grassland habitats, which can be home to many species. Pollution of lakes and streams can have serious impacts on aquatic life, and can cause species to die or move out of the area. Therefore, all of these choices can contribute to species extinction.
