Solution

The correct option is D Endemic species
An endemic species is a plant or animal species with a habitat restricted to one area such as an island, nation, country or other defined zone, or habitat type. They run a higher risk of extinction because of their geographic isolation e.g., lemurs of Madagascar and the tortoises of the Galápagos. Hence option D is correct.
