The correct option is C Endangered species
Endangered species is a species facing a high risk of extinction in the near future due to a decrease in its habitat, excessive predation or poaching e.g., Ailurus fulgens (Red Panda), Bentinckia nicobarica. Some other examples are Blue Whale, Asiatic wild ass and Lion-tailed Macaque.
Vulnerable species are those for which presently the population is sufficient but is undergoing depletion due to some factors so that it is facing the risk of extinction in the medium term.
Rare species are species with naturally small populations, either localised or thinly scattered.
Threatened species include critically endangered, endangered and vulnerable.Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
