Answer 1

Answer:

habitat destruction is your answer

Answer 2

The right reason for the extinction of the pigeon species is option 4: Selective destruction for food.

• One of the wild pigeon bird species native to North America was the passenger pigeon.
• These were the migratory birds that became extinct altogether.
• Extinction occurs when a species is lost, and no species is spared.
• The loss of a species from a planet can occur for a variety of causes, including habitat destruction, climate change or natural disasters, pesticide poisoning, or overexploitation.
• Humans exploited pigeon species and slaughtered them for food.
• They hunted wild pigeons in large numbers, resulting in a low population and eventually extinction.
• As a result, their selective killing for food is the reason.
