The correct response is:
**So many bison were killed for sport that the species became endangered.**
Western settlers significantly impacted the bison population through widespread hunting, primarily for sport and market purposes. This led to a drastic decline in the bison population, ultimately pushing the species towards the brink of extinction in the late 19th century.
