Answer 1

The activity that might reduce habitat loss is **removing invasive species**. Invasive species can disrupt local ecosystems, outcompeting native species and leading to habitat degradation. By removing them, native habitats can be restored, and biodiversity can be supported, which helps in reducing overall habitat loss.

The other options listed are generally not beneficial for habitat conservation. For example, replacing golf courses with farms can lead to habitat loss if not done sustainably, and draining wetlands for agriculture typically contributes to habitat degradation. Spreading out the human population could lead to more habitat disruption, depending on how it is managed.
