Question

frogs lay their eggs in water so the eggs do not dry out. a recent study shows that nearly one - third of the frog species are decreasing rapidly as their breeding grounds and habitats are affected by droughts. which factor is most likely responsible for the decline in frog species? a decrease in fish populations an increase in global temperatures an increase in the water level of rivers a decrease in the population of birds

Explanation:

The text mentions that frog species are declining rapidly as their breeding grounds and habitats are affected by droughts. Among the options, an increase in global temperatures can lead to droughts, which can impact frog habitats and breeding grounds. A decrease in fish or bird populations and an increase in river water levels are not directly related to the habitat - affecting droughts mentioned in the text.

Answer:

B. an increase in global temperatures
