Option D, The central part of the beach has been least affected by habitat loss.

Explanation:

The Loggerhead sea turtles find the safest place to hatch and make nest in the central part of the beach. It is so because of past development activities  in the northern and southern part of the beach.

These activities disturbs the habitat of the sea turtle and predominantly  includes the following
