D)  productive feed habitats are increased

Habitat Degraded

Refers to the deterioration in quality and reduction in the value of habitats, affecting the organisms living there due to natural or human-induced causes.

Soil Ecology

The study of how soil organisms interact within their environments and contribute to soil health and fertility.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Agriculture often involves the use of monocultures, where large areas of land are planted with a single crop species. This can lead to a degradation of habitat and a loss of biodiversity, as it eliminates the varied habitats that would have existed if multiple crop species or native vegetation were present.
