<em>All of the options represent ways by which humans can lower biodiversity as they use the environment.</em>

Converting a forest to a soccer field requires that the variety of plants and animals in the forest are removed and the forest soil is planted with turfs in their place. Thus the biodiversity of the forest has been greatly reduced in other to pave way for a soccer field.
A pesticide is an agrochemical that kills pests. Pests are biological organisms even if they are not that desirable on the lawn. Thus, killing them off using a pesticide is a way of reducing the biodiversity associated with the lawn.
A tundra represents an ecoregion with its own characteristic plants and animal, even if they are few. Hence, building roads across tundra requires that portions of the biodiversity are removed to pave way for the road.
Riverbanks serve as habitats for a variety of living organisms. Replacing them with concrete bulkheads means that the habitat is lost and the organisms displaced. Thus, the biodiversity of the region gets reduced.
Therefore, options A, B, C, and D are all correct.

Darwin delayed publication of the Origin of Species for two decades, until 1859, because he was nervous about the likely reaction of church authorities and professional colleagues to the theory of evolution by natural selection (a theory he first developed in 1839).
Explanation:
<span>The appropriate answer is c. sonar. Oceanographers use sonar to determine the ocean depth. A sonar signal is sent from the ship. Oceanographers record the time taken for the signal to leave the ship and for it to return. Knowing the speed of sound in water, they are able to calculate the depth of the water. This method is also used to generate bathymetric images of the ocean floor. </span>
