Solution

The correct option is A

Extinction


The phenomenon where a species that used to exist, does not exist anymore is known as extinction. A species is believed to be extinct when the last living member dies. Extinction, therefore, becomes a certainty when there are no surviving individuals that can reproduce and create a new generation.
