(a) Damage to human property

(b) Increase in the forest area

(c) Injury and loss of life of humans and wildlife

(d) Destruction of habitat

The question was posed to me during an online exam.

My enquiry is from Human-Wildlife Conflicts, Threats and Conservation of Biodiversity topic in chapter Biodiversity of Energy Management

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) Increase in the forest area

To explain: Apart for the increase in the forest area, the above three options are the outcomes of man-wildlife conflict. Man-wildlife conflicts occur with various negative results. Due to these conflicts there is also the chance for the collapse of wildlife populations and reduction of geographic ranges.
