Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If different categories of threatened species are written in a sequence, what is the correct order?
A
Vulnerable -> Rare -> Extinct -> Endangered
B
Vulnerable -> Rare -> Endangered -> Extinct
C
Rare -> Vulnerable -> Endangered -> Extinct
D
Extinct-> Vulnerable -> Rare -> Endangered
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The threatened species are characterized by the population dynamic measure and mathematical measure of biomass related to the population growth rate. So, the correct answer is ‘Endangered, vulnerable, and rare species’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Species are classified into one of nine Red List Categories: Extinct, Extinct in the Wild, Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, Near Threatened, Least Concern, Data Deficient and Not Evaluated. Vulnerable, Endangered and Critically Endangered species are considered to be threatened with extinction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Critically endangered (CR) – Extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. Endangered (EN) – High risk of extinction in the wild. Vulnerable (VU) – High risk of endangerment in the wild. Near threatened (NT) – Likely to become endangered soon.

Detailed explanation-4: -Critically Endangered (CR): A species facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. Endangered (EN): A species considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild. Vulnerable (VU): A species considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.

Detailed explanation-5: -Population reduction rate. Geographic range. Population size. Population restrictions. More items •27-Jul-2022
