Solution
The correct option is D sanctuary
The correct answer is Option D.
A sanctuary is a place where animals are kept in their natural environment for their protection. Many animals face the danger of extinction because their habitats have been destroyed. They have no home and there is a slow decline in their number because they die without a home.
Thus Option D is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect:
ZOO is where animals are kept for visitors to visit.
MUSEUM is a place of display of historical, scientific or culturally interesting items.
