a species with a slow reproduction rate and very little genetic variation living in a stable environment

a species with a fast reproduction rate and lots of genetic variation living in a stable environment

Answer 1

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.

Species with slow reproduction rates typically have longer recovery times from population declines, and low genetic variation limits their ability to adapt to changes in the environment. When combined with a changing environment, these factors significantly increase their risk of extinction.
