Hint:
They are a black Asian tribe. They call themselves En-iregale, meaning 'perfect person.'
The Onge call themselves En-iregale, meaning 'perfect person.'
They are a designated Scheduled Tribe of India, historically hunter-gatherers.

Complete answer:
The Ongese Tribe
They lived on Little Andaman Island for a long time, the southernmost island of the Andaman Archipelago.
Following contact with British colonists and Indian settlers, the population of Onge was also decimated; it dropped from 670 in 1900 to about 112 today.
The Onge were Goubalambabey's just endless occupants until the 1940s (the Onge name for Little Andaman).

Therefore , the correct answer is A

Note:
The Onge were semi-nomadic and were entirely dependent on food hunting and gathering.
The Onge are one of the Andaman Islands' indigenous communities. They form the Negrito people, along with the other Andamanese tribes and a few other scattered groups elsewhere in Southeast Asia.
In the wake of colonisation and settlement, Onge population numbers were drastically reduced from 672 in 1901 to barely 100.
A significant cause of the decrease in Onge population is the adjustments in their food habits brought about by their communication with the outside world.
Onge is one of the least fertile people in the world.
