The correct option is C Cheetah
The cheetah is a large feline inhabiting most of Africa and parts of Iran. Cheetah cubs have a high mortality rate due to predation by other carnivores, such as the lion and hyena, and perhaps genetic factors. With the death of the last remaining population of the Asiatic cheetah in India, the species was declared extinct in India, it is the only animal in recorded history to become extinct from India due to unnatural causes
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
