Answer 1

The option that is not a benefit of national parks and protected areas is **"fragmented areas are created."**

National parks and protected areas are intended to preserve natural habitats and ecosystems, allowing biodiversity to flourish and protecting geological features and animal species in their natural habitats. Fragmentation, on the other hand, generally refers to the breaking up of habitats into smaller, isolated patches, which can be detrimental to biodiversity and ecosystem health.
