Solution

The correct option is D Its gene pool will be lost forever.
India is home to around 60% of the world's wild tigers. Tigers in the country are threatened with extinction because of the downfall in the variety of their mating partners, which has resulted in lack of genetic diversity. It is due to man that the population of Bengal tigers has reduced. As a result of both hunting and deforestation in the areas in which the Bengal tiger thrives, tigers are being forced out of their home and left with little prey to feed upon. By diluting the gene pools of these tigers, we increase the risk of extinction.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
