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.**

This is because a slow reproduction rate means that the species cannot quickly replenish its population, and limited genetic variation reduces its ability to adapt to environmental changes. When these two factors are combined with a changing environment, the species is less likely to survive.
