Explanation
The correct answer is (B) Extinct species. The Indian Cheetah and Dodo bird are both extinct species.
The Indian Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus venaticus) was once found in India, but it is now considered extinct in the wild. The last recorded Indian Cheetah in the wild was in 1952. Conservation efforts to reintroduce the cheetah in India are currently underway, but as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the species remains extinct.
The Dodo bird (Raphus cucullatus) was a flightless bird endemic to the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It became extinct in the late 17th century due to human activities, including hunting and the introduction of invasive species to its habitat.
Both the Indian Cheetah and Dodo bird serve as examples of species that are no longer found in the wild and are considered extinct.
