• B. extinct
• C. endangered
• D. pandemic

Answer 1

The correct option is A

endemic

Ecological hotspots are areas rich in endemic species, which are facing a threat of extinction due to habitat destruction. Endemic species are species that are restricted to a particular area and are found only there. So, if that particular habitat is destroyed, the endemic species are also under the threat of extinction.
