Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A national park can be viewed as a habitat island as it is an area of protected land that serves as a refuge for wildlife and native plants in the midst of human activities such as agriculture, industry, and logging. The designation of a national park ensures that the natural habitat and wildlife is preserved within this isolated area.
