Most conservation biologists agree that the greatest single threat to global biodiversity is **a) the destruction or alteration of physical ecosystems.** While all the options listed pose significant threats to biodiversity, habitat destruction and alteration are often seen as the primary drivers of species decline and loss of biodiversity.
