The correct option is C.
A biome refers to a large naturally occurring community of plants and animals that live in a particular ecosystem. Humans interrupt natural biome processes in diverse ways and this has led to loss and degradation of natural habitats. Humans generally alter natural biomes through the following processes: deforestation, hunting, use of pesticides, water pollution, introduction of invasive species, increased fossils fuel usage, industrial pollution of land fills, etc.

Answer:

The correct answer would be C) interruption of natural biome processes

Human impacts can be best characterized by the interruption of natural processes taking place in a biome.

Human activities like habitat destruction, deforestation, poaching, over-exploitation of resources, pollution et cetera reduce or stop the natural processes such as natural food chain, the efficiency of production, carrying capacity et cetera.

For example, deforestation has led to a reduction in the average oxygen production of the biome due to which balance of atmosphere is also disturbed.
