Explanation:

• For the first question, captive breeding, habitat preservation, and re - introduction programs are conservation methods while urban development often harms endangered species, not conserves them.
• For the second question, habitat destruction is a major threat to endangered species as it removes their living areas. Genetic diversity is beneficial, over - population of predators is not as common a main threat as habitat loss, and increased rainfall is not a typical main threat.
• For the third question, ecological balance is about the interconnectedness of species and their environment, not directly related to economic growth, agricultural development, or urbanization which can disrupt it.

Answer:

1. d. Urban development
2. b. Habitat destruction
3. b. The interconnectedness of species and their environment
