I'd say Drug resistant disease would be the most primary. Nuclear War 2nd. Climate Change is maybe , A.I in the apocalyptic context isn't likely.

Drug resistant disease first. Then maybe nuclear war, assuming very harsh nuclear winter. Then artificial inteligence, also assuming some very bad IMO unrealistic scenarios. Climate change is nowhere near existential risk.
