Solution

The correct option is D African Elephants
Trees, plants, and wildlife have become victims of overexploitation of the natural environment by humans. The pangolins are hunted primarily for their scales, to be used in traditional Chinese medicine. The majestic one-horned rhino is poached for its horns, and the African Elephants are killed to convert their ivory tusks into ornaments and jewellery.
