(C) Rare
(D) Critically endangered

Answer 1

Hint: Species, which is in danger of extinction include Gorilla, Rhino, Saola, and many more. A special act is also released for these organisms which were established in the year 1973.

Complete answer:
Species, which are in danger of extinction, are known as Endangered. A species that can very soon become extinct, either worldwide or in a particular political jurisdiction is defined as an endangered species.

So, the correct answer is ‘Endangered’.

Additional Information: Endangered species could also be in danger because of factors like habitat loss, poaching, and invasive species. The Red List of International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List lists the worldwide conservation status of the many species, and various other agencies assess the status of species within particular areas. It was seen that a lot of countries have their own laws that help to protect conservation-reliant species, for instance, forbid hunting, restrict exploitation, or create protected areas. Some species are the target of in-depth conservation efforts which include captive breeding and habitat restoration. The introduction of non-indigenous species to a neighborhood can disrupt the ecosystem to such an extent that native species become endangered. Such introductions could also be termed alien or invasive species. In some cases, the invasive species compete with the native species for food or feed on the natives.

Note: To protect the endangered species, an act was passed which is known as the Endangered Species Act of 1973 in the US. According to the U.S. Supreme Court, it is the most comprehensive legislation which was passed for the preservation of species that are endangered enacted by any nation.
