Solution
The correct option is C Dodos
Dodos were flightless birds found in the islands of Mauritius near Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. The bird was killed for sport and meat by the sailors going across Africa and while coming to India. Due to its flightless nature, they were easy to kill and eventually, all living dodos became extinct due to excessive hunting by people settled in Mauritius from Europe.
