Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

In the Barro Colorado Island, the mentioned local population of the butterfly species went on to become extinct mainly due to the fragmentation of habitats and the loss of habitats. The host plant on which the butterflies fed could not grow and they started to decline in number and slowly became extinct. Due to this the species of the butterfly also would have got extinct because of the lack of food.
