The passage describes the dodo's extinction as "an example for how humans can affect their environment." Which of the following is the best example of the same phenomenon? highlight text A It is believed that the dinosaurs went extinct after a meteor strike drastically impacted the Earth's climate. B The quagga was a zebra-like species in South Africa that died out after Dutch settlers over-hunted it. C Lionfish are Pacific fish that were brought to the Atlantic, where they have no predators and threaten other species unchecked.

The best example of how humans can affect their environment, similar to the dodo's extinction, is:<br /><br />**B. The quagga was a zebra-like species in South Africa that died out after Dutch settlers over-hunted it.**<br /><br />This option directly illustrates human impact on a specific species through hunting, paralleling the dodo's extinction due to human activities such as hunting and habitat destruction. <br /><br />Option A discusses a natural event (meteor strike) that led to the extinction of dinosaurs, which does not involve human influence. Option C describes an invasive species scenario but does not focus on extinction caused by human actions.
