What is habitat?

1. A type of animal

2. A place where animals go to drink water

3. A home providing a species with everything it needs to survive: a space to breed, take shelter, rest, eat, and drink

4. A conservation program targeting endangered species

The correct answer is: A home providing a species with everything it needs to survive: a space to breed, take shelter, rest, eat, and drink

Habitat is a term that refers to the natural environment in which a particular species lives. It includes everything that a species needs in order to survive, such as food, water, shelter, and space to breed. A habitat can be a variety of locations, depending on the needs of the species. Option A, a type of animal, is too broad and does not accurately describe habitat. Option B, a place where animals go to drink water, is only one small aspect of a habitat and does not encompass all of the elements necessary for survival. Option D, a conservation program targeting endangered species, is not a definition of habitat, but rather a specific conservation effort that may be used to preserve certain habitats. Therefore, the correct response is C, as it provides a comprehensive understanding of what makes up a habitat.
