This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2025 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (15-Jun-2025)
The correct answer is

Co-extinction

Co-extinction option is correct.

Co-extinction describes the loss of one species as an inevitable consequence of the extinction of another species with which it shares an obligate ecological relationship — a specialist parasite losing its host, a pollinator losing its exclusive plant, or a mutualist losing its partner. The phenomenon is a major but under-appreciated driver of biodiversity loss because species interactions form dense dependency networks.

Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms, fragmentation is the physical breakup of habitat into smaller patches, and biological invasion is the establishment of a non-native species — none of these describe the linked-extinction mechanism the stem defines.
