Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The option c) of becoming habitat islands due to surrounding development is the best choice because the development around the parks leads to habitat fragmentation, making it difficult for wildlife to migrate and reproduce. This can result in a reduction in biodiversity and a decline in the overall health of park ecosystems. While the other options (a, b, d, and e) may pose threats to some national parks, they are not as widespread as habitat fragmentation due to development.
