Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the key concept: The problem is asking about the greatest threat humans pose to biodiversity.
Understand the options: Analyze each option to determine how it relates to human impact on biodiversity.
Option 1 - Habitat destruction: Consider how human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture lead to the loss of natural habitats, which is a major threat to biodiversity.
Option 2 - Increased genetic diversity: Evaluate whether this is typically a result of human activity and if it poses a threat to biodiversity. Generally, increased genetic diversity is beneficial, not a threat.
Option 3 - Predation by native species and Option 4 - Natural disasters: Assess whether these are directly caused by humans or are natural occurrences. Predation by native species is a natural process, and natural disasters are not primarily caused by humans.
