B.the bird itself is vanishing in the northeastern United States as a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in
C.that the birds themselves are vanishing in the northeastern United States is due to residential and industrial development and changes to
D.in the northeastern United States, sandpipers' vanishing is due to residential and industrial development and to changes in
