Question

Susceptibility to extinction is due to

• A. Large body size
• B. Small population
• C. High trophic level
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The correct option is D All of the above
When there are no more individuals of a species (plant or animal) alive anywhere in the world, the species is said to be extinct. Extinction is also known as the process of dying out. The process is a completely natural part of evolution. But sometimes extinctions happen at a higher and a faster rate than usual. Factors such as large body size, small population and position at a higher trophic level favour extinction.

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
