Explicação
## Step 1The problem is asking us to identify the correct statement about anthropogenic disturbances. Anthropogenic disturbances are those that are caused by human activities.## Step 2Let's evaluate each option:- Option a: Anthropogenic disturbances are not natural disturbances. They are caused by human activities, so this statement is incorrect.- Option b: Anthropogenic disturbances do not include storms and volcanic eruptions. These are natural events, not human-induced, so this statement is also incorrect.- Option c: Anthropogenic disturbances do not increase species diversity. In fact, they often lead to a decrease in species diversity due to habitat destruction and pollution, so this statement is incorrect.- Option d: Anthropogenic disturbances include pollution and habitat destruction. These are direct consequences of human activities, so this statement is correct.
