nonrenewable
B
endemic
C
bioremediation
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Endemism is a term used in biology to talk about the distribution of a taxon limited to a small geographic area and which can therefore be found naturally in this place. In consequence, endemic species are those that live in a limited area, such as a mountain range, lake or island, among others.

Detailed explanation-2: -Endemic species-species that are only found in one particular location-are also found in hotspots.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two types of endemism-paleoendemism and neoendemism. Paleoendemism means that a species used to live in a large area but now lives only in a smaller area.

Detailed explanation-4: -When a species is indigenous, it’s found in a particular location or surrounding areas. An endemic species, however, is a native species found only in a picky area, large or small. Often an endemic species is confined to a certain area because they are highly adapted to the particular niche.

Detailed explanation-5: -Endemic species are plants or animals that exist only in one geographic region. They can be endemic to large or small areas, to a particular continent, or even a single island. As a result, many of these endemic species, particularly the ones that dwell in a very limited range, are quite lonesome.
