B. Tamarind and Rhesus monkey
C. Cinchona and Leopard
D. Banyan and Blackbuck

Answer 1

The term endangered species represents the species of animals and plants which are likely to be extinct in near future. Factors such as loss of habitat, poaching, and invasive species are responsible for the species to become endangered.

Complete answer: Many species of plants and animals are getting endangered due to the fact of increasing human activities. Other factors that are responsible for the loss of habitat of plants and animals are deforestation, industrial activities, and the new evolution of new species. Natural factors also play an important role in the survival of plants and animals. Increasing temperature, global warming, and forest fire also aid the species to become extinct. The word endangered species means the species are endangered but are not extinct. They are rarely found in nature. The global conservation status of many species are listed in the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Conservation reliant species are protected by the laws imposed by many nations. Extensive conservation efforts like captive breeding and habitat restoration are done to protect the endangered species. In India, many species of plants and animals are getting endangered day by day. Bentinckia nicobarica and Red Panda are examples. Plants such as tamarind, cinchona, and banyan and animals such as Rhesus monkey, leopard, and blackbuck are still found in some parts of India.
So, option A is the correct option.

Note: Many botanical gardens and wildlife forests are constructed to save the endangered species of plants and animals. The process of maintaining plants and animals in a suitable environment is called captive breeding. Habitat restoration involves the practice of renewing and restoring the habitats which are damaged or destroyed.
