Habitat destruction can result in extinction.

Explanation:

If a species, say an insect lives in a particular area of forest and nowhere else in the world, when this part of forest would be destroyed/cut for the growth of a city or town, this species would become extinct.

Habitat refers to the home of an organism and its destruction is called habitat destruction. So, when we destroy the specific are a species live in for growth of city/town, the species becomes extinct.
