Answer 1

The option with the largest negative impact on biodiversity is generally considered to be "building over habitats." Habitat destruction and fragmentation due to urbanization, agriculture, and development is a significant driver of biodiversity loss, as it directly reduces the space available for species to live, reproduce, and thrive. While the introduction of new species and severe weather can also negatively impact biodiversity, habitat loss is typically seen as the most significant factor.
