    Correct Answer
    A. Playing too much Sport
    Explanation
    Playing too much sport is not a cause of the loss of biodiversity. Biodiversity loss refers to the decline in the variety of species in a particular habitat or ecosystem. Pollution, climate change, and natural disasters are known to contribute to biodiversity loss as they can disrupt ecosystems, destroy habitats, and harm or kill species. However, playing too much sport does not directly impact biodiversity as it is a human activity unrelated to the natural environment.

    • Yes

    • No

New species may outcompete native species for food, habitat, and other essential resources, leading to a decline in the population of native species. They may also introduce diseases or parasites that the native species are not adapted to, further impacting their survival. Additionally, new species can alter the balance of predator-prey relationships and disrupt the natural food chain. Overall, the introduction of new species can have negative consequences for the native inhabitants of an area.
