The species that would have the greatest chance of going extinct is:
**a species with a slow reproduction rate and very little genetic variation living in a changing environment.**
This is because a slow reproduction rate would limit its ability to adapt quickly to new challenges posed by a changing environment, and low genetic variation reduces the potential for evolutionary adaptation. In contrast, species with fast reproduction rates and high genetic diversity are typically more resilient and adaptable to environmental changes.
