C. The reproductive difficulties described in Source #2 (e.g., effects of microgravity, radiation, or infertility in space) undermine Source #1’s claim that moving humans off Earth ensures long-term survival—if colonists cannot reproduce reliably, colonies can’t become self-sustaining and the survival argument is compromised.
