Question

The population limited to a particular geographic area is called as.

• A. pandemic
• B. endemic
• C. alien
• D. natural

Answer 1

The correct option is B endemic

A plant or animal, native and restricted to a certain place is referred to as endemic. Endemism is the ecological state of a species being unique to a defined geographic location, such as an island, nation, country or other defined zone, or habitat type; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. Few examples are: The orange-breasted sunbird is exclusively found in the fynbos vegetation zone of southwestern South Africa. The glacier bear is found only in limited places in Southeast Alaska.

So, the correct option is 'Endemic'.
