Solution

The correct option is A end of a species
Extinction is a phenomenon during which all the individuals of a species die out leading to an end of the species. Dinosaurs, dodo, quagga are all examples of extinct species. It does not lead to the beginning of a new species or increase in species diversity. Movement of birds from one place to the other is called migration. Extinction does not lead to migration.
