A
All of the above
💡 Explanation:
Habitat loss can lead to increased contact between humans and wildlife, which can facilitate the transmission of diseases from animals to humans. It can also reduce the genetic diversity of wildlife populations, making them more susceptible to disease outbreaks. Additionally, habitat loss can disrupt the natural balance of ecosystems, leading to changes in the abundance and distribution of disease vectors.
