What method helps manage wildlife resources?

1. Poaching

2. Selective hunting

3. Overhunting

4. Habitat destruction

The correct answer is: Selective hunting

Selective hunting is the correct method for managing wildlife resources because it allows for the regulation and control of certain species to maintain their population size and prevent overpopulation. Poaching (A) is illegal and harmful to wildlife populations. Overhunting (C) is a result of unsustainable hunting practices and can lead to the decline of certain species. Habitat destruction (D) can also harm wildlife populations by reducing their natural habitats and food sources. Therefore, selective hunting is the most effective and responsible method for managing wildlife resources.
