Explanation:

1. Assisted - reproductive technologies in saving endangered species can interfere with the natural selection process and affect genetic diversity as it may not follow the natural mating and survival mechanisms.
2. Restoring wetlands in the Florida Everglades is an example of habitat restoration as it aims to bring back the natural wetland environment for the species that depend on it.
3. The Giant Panda conservation effort in China mainly involves habitat preservation to protect their living environment and captive - breeding programs to increase their population.

Answer:

1. c. Interfering with natural selection and genetic diversity
2. a. Restoring wetlands in the Florida Everglades
3. c. It involved habitat preservation and captive breeding programs
