A
habitat fragmentation
B
pollution
C
invasive species
D
warming temperatures
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -global warming, the phenomenon of increasing average air temperatures near the surface of Earth over the past one to two centuries.

Detailed explanation-2: -Warming temperature. What global phenomenon has caused some organisms to move toward the poles or to higher altitudes? Endangered species act. In the United States, what is the major law that protects biodiversity?

Detailed explanation-3: -The risk of species extinction increases with every degree of warming. In the ocean, rising temperatures increase the risk of irreversible loss of marine and coastal ecosystems. Live coral reefs, for instance, have nearly halved in the past 150 years, and further warming threatens to destroy almost all remaining reefs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Our global food system is the primary driver of biodiversity loss, with agriculture alone being the identified threat to 24, 000 of the 28, 000 (86%) species at risk of extinction. The global rate of species extinction today is higher than the average rate over the past 10 million years.
