A
Wildlife tunnels
B
Wildlife over passes
C
wildlife corridors
D
wildlife corss walks
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -By providing landscape connections between habitat areas, corridors enable wildlife movement and breeding of plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wildlife corridors are defined as narrow strips of land that differs, usually in terms of dominant vegetation, from the surrounding area. They serve as traveling avenues for wildlife species between two similar yet fragmented habitat areas, and provide important sources of food and cover for many species.

Detailed explanation-3: -Connecting habitats through corridors such as road overpasses and underpasses is one solution to restore fragmented patches, building more climate resilient landscapes, and restoring populations and overall biodiversity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Habitat fragmentation is usually caused by human activities and structures, such as roads, logging, and other development. A wildlife corridor is a way of connecting these fragmented habitats. The corridor allows movement between isolated patches of habitat without other disturbances, such as traffic or development.
