Solution

The correct option is C

Exclusively found in a zone


Humans are found globally in almost all parts of the world. But unlike humans, most animals and plants are restricted to certain specific geographical locations only. These species rarely survive when they are taken out of their natural habitat. Due to such high specificity of its natural habitat, a species is said to be endemic to a particular geographical location.
