The species most at risk of extinction due to habitat destruction are those .
a. with large, widespread geographic ranges
b. at the lowest trophic levels
c. with large numbers of individuals
d. with small, limited geographic ranges
e. that photosynthesize

d. with small, limited geographic ranges

Explanation:

Extinction is defined as thhe state in which envionment has loss of some species, family, or larger group being.

The species that will have more risk of extinction due to habitat destruction are those species having small, limited geographic ranges. Habitat destruction may be man-made (construction of buildings, highways etcetra.) or natural ( natural disasters such as wildfire), which can make difficulty for the animals with small or limited geographic ranges as they are not able to survive with the condition of other habitat and can be extinct soon.

Hence, the correct option is d. "with small, limited geographic ranges".

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.
