What is the correct meaning of an endangered species?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A species at risk of extinction

An endangered species is a plant or animal whose survival is threatened and which may disappear completely from Earth. Its population may have become very small because of habitat loss, hunting, pollution, climate changes, disease, or other pressures. The important idea is the danger of extinction, not whether the species is domestic or common. Therefore, option C gives the correct meaning. Option A has the opposite meaning, because a species with a very high number is not usually endangered merely because it is numerous. A non-living thing cannot be a species of wildlife.

To solve this question, focus on the phrase “at risk of extinction.” Extinction means that no living members of the species remain. Endangered species are not necessarily extinct yet; they still exist, but their future is unsafe. Conservation aims to protect their habitat, reduce harmful human activities, and help their population recover. Thus option C is precise and complete.
