The correct option is D

Bentinckia nicobarica and Red Panda


Bentinckia nicobarica and Red Panda represent the endangered organisms in India. The species (including animals, plants, fungi, etc.) which are vulnerable to endangerment in the near future are known as threatened species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the authority on threatened species, and it treats threatened species as a group of three categories, depending on the degree relative to which they are threatened. Those categories are Vulnerable species; Endangered species and Critically endangered species. An endangered species is most likely to get extinct in the near future. So, the correct answer is 'Bentinckia nicobarica and Red Panda'.
