• B. Tamarind and Rhesus monkey
• C. Cinchona and Leopard
• D. Banyan and Black buck

Answer 1

The correct option is A Bentinckia nicobarica and Red Panda

Endangered species is a plant or animal species defined by IUCN as being in immediate danger of extinction because its members have reached a critical level or its habitals have been drastically reduced. A plant, Bentinckia condapanna/nicobarica (member of family Arecaceae) and the animal, Red panda, both are declared as endangered in India. Tamarind, Banyan etc are not endangered in India.

So, the correct answer is 'Bentinckia nicobarica and Red Panda'.
