Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is d) 1, 4​.

Explanation:

• Due to their surroundings, Eurasian harvest mice are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic effects corresponding to chemical use in farming, crop rotation, habitat destruction, fragmentation, and soil draining.
• Grasslands are decreasing in area, and are turning rapidly into  fragmented lands.
• The primary survey of the Eurasian harvest mouse in the United Kingdom was conducted by the Mammal Society within the 1970s, and later followed up by the National Harvest Mouse survey in the late 1990s.
• These surveys indicated that Eurasian harvest mouse nests were on a decline with 85% of the acceptable habitat which is no longer accessible for the mice.
• The harvest mouse is protected under the 'Wildlife and Countryside' Act of 1981 and the United Kingdom Post-2010 Biodiversity Framework Implementation Plan.
