Siberian Tiger
C
Chinese tiger
D
Indian tiger
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Amur tigers (sometimes called Siberian tigers) are the biggest tigers, with males weighing up to 660 pounds and measuring up to 10 feet long from nose to tip of the tail. Sumatran tigers are the smallest of the tiger subspecies, maxing out at about 310 pounds and 8 feet.

Detailed explanation-2: -The largest tiger ever found in the wild was, indeed, from the Bengal subspecies. This muscular, super powerful beast lived in Uttar Pradesh in India and measured nearly 10 feet, 7 inches long. It also weighed close to 857 pounds, making it almost 300lbs heavier than even the biggest Bengal tigers found in the wild.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bengal tigers seem to be the largest of the tiger species, but a Siberian tiger actually holds the record for the largest tiger ever documented. The Bengal tiger is, thus, the second largest of the tiger species.

Detailed explanation-4: -The largest male Siberian tigers may grow up to 3.7 metres (12.1 feet) in body length (including a 1-metre-[3.3-foot-] long tail) and weigh up to 423 kg (about 933 pounds). Females are smaller, the largest measuring 2.4 metres (7.9 feet) long and weighing as much as 168 kg (370 pounds).
