Correct Answer:

Keeping animals in a zoological parks

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - Keeping animals in a zoological parks

Keeping animals in zoological parks is not a direct cause of the loss of biodiversity. Instead, zoological parks, when managed responsibly, can contribute to conservation efforts by maintaining and breeding endangered species, conducting research, educating the public about biodiversity, and supporting species reintroduction programs. However, factors like overexploitation, loss of habitat, and the introduction of invasive species are significant contributors to the loss of biodiversity on a global scale. These factors negatively impact various ecosystems and contribute to the decline or extinction of species.
