D. Both are examples of exotic species

Answer 1

Hint: Indian alligator commonly includes crocodiles in India. Crocodiles share an ancient relationship with India. In previous times seven species were depicted in India. The number has decreased to three times the primary species.

Complete answer:
 The Indian giant squirrel is one of the largest squirrels lengths from head to body is 25–50 cm (10 in–1 ft 8 in), and the tail is the same or slightly longer, and the weight of the Indian giant squirrel is about 1.5–2 kg (3.3–4.4 lb). It has a conspicuous one, two, or three-toned colour scheme. The colours involved can be whitish, creamy-beige, buff, tan, rust, reddish-maroon, brown, a dark seal brown, or black. The underparts and the front legs of them are generally creamish in colour, the head can be brown or beige. However, there is a presence of white spots between the ears which is a distinguishable feature. Otherwise, the colours depend on the subspecies. Indian alligators and Indian giant squirrels are both examples of endemic species. Endemic species are those types of species that are found in a particular geographical area and nowhere else in the world.
 So, the correct option is option C.Both are examples of endemic species.

Note: Species can be endemic to large or small areas of the earth: some are endemic to a particular continent, some to part of a continent, and others to a single island. Usually, an area that contains endemic species is isolated in some way, so that species have difficulty spreading to other areas.
