Question

A recent United Nations analysis report gathered data on declines in biodiversity across the world.

A. Fertilizer use in developing countries should be encouraged to decrease the extinction rate

B. Decreasing air pollution in the least developed countries would decrease species survival rate

C. Protection of key biodiversity areas should be a priority for developed countries to lower the extinction rate

D. Assisting developing countries with more sustainable methods of extraction of living biomass would increase species survival rates
