Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Keeping animals in zoological parks.

Keeping animals in zoological parks is a method to provide protection to the organisms in some other area instead of their natural habitat. The animals transferred from their natural habitat to a safer area either due to an injury or other physical ailment or a change in environmental conditions that is no longer sustainable.

So, the correct option is option C.
