If the Bengal tiger become extinct

A: Hyenas and wolves will become scarce
B: The wild area will be safe for man and domestic animals
C: Its gene pool will be lost forever
D: The population of beautiful animal like dear will get stabilized

The answer is: C

Explanation

Correct option is C)

If Bengal tiger becomes extinct, its gene pool will be lost forever. Gene pool consists of all the genes and their different alleles in a population of plant or animal species. If Bengal tiger becomes extinct the total species is lost forever since it is the genes and chromosomes that determine the species. Hyenas and wolves population will increase as Bengal tiger will not eat them. The wild area is already safe for domestic man and animals if they don't interfere with resources of Bengal tiger, however, it will create some more impact as the wild area will be safer but that is not the main reason here. The population of deer will not be stabilized as their population will increase first and after the same, their population will decrease because of competition among them. There are various methods for conservation of biodiversity like the formation of botanical gardens, zoological park, sperm bank, gene bank etc.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
