Explanation:

Over-farming by settlers (mislabeled in the option text) converted buffalo grazing lands to farmland, destroying their habitat and contributing to the collapse of southern buffalo herds. The other options are incorrect: Native Americans hunted sustainably for food, tourist train hunts were not the primary driver, and settlers did not fence buffalo as livestock.

A. Native Americans over farmed areas buffalo used to graze.
