The number of plant and animal species that humans are known to have forced to extinction in the last half millennium is over 800.
humans are known to have forced to extinction
humans are known as having forced to become extinct
humans are known for forcing to become extinct
are known that humans forced to become extinct
are known as having been forced to extinction by humans
choice c:
fatal change of meaning.
this sentence implies that we are currently 'forcing [these species] to become extinct', a meaning that not only differs from the original but also borders on absurdity.
the original meaning, which we're not allowed to change, is that humans have forced the species into extinction at some point in the last 500 years, not that humans are doing so currently.
