GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Anthropogenic extinction means the extinction of species from the surface of earth that is due to human activities. Note:The Holocene extinction is mainly linked with the meat consumption, overfishing, ocean acidification and consequently decline in the species population and biodiversity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike previous extinction events caused by natural phenomena, the sixth mass extinction is driven by human activity, primarily (though not limited to) the unsustainable use of land, water and energy use, and climate change.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Holocene extinction is also known as the “sixth extinction", as it is possibly the sixth mass extinction event, after the Ordovician–Silurian extinction events, the Late Devonian extinction, the Permian–Triassic extinction event, the Triassic–Jurassic extinction event, and the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anthropogenic factors constitute the primary deterministic causes of species declines, endangerment and extinction: land development, overexploitation, species translocations and introductions, and pollution.
