There are many reasons why animals defend their territories. For a good bit of animals, the reason that they defend their territories is to gain and protect their food resources, mating areas, their habitat, and much more. They don't really protect their territories to establish 'dominance' within a social group. They don't do it to eliminate the need for social hierarchies. They don't do it for the reason to increase their space either - although some animals do this sometimes.

Therefore, the correct answer would be the first option you've provided, in my eyes. They do it to maintain access to food, shelter, and mates. If you have any further questions, please be sure to ask me! I'll be more than happy to help!

A) to maintain access to food, shelter, and mates.

Answer:

Oil workers activities involved in the exploration of crude oil and natural gas creates pollution which affects the ecosystem negatively. The various pollutions cause the death of plant and animal life both on land and in water bodies.

The oil workers should be more careful in their activities to prevent oil spillage as much as possible and if there is any at all then there should be adequate measures in the cleaning it up efficiently through biological and harmless chemicals.
