The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the extinctions according to the IUCN, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Species Listed**: The question lists four species: - (i) Dodo - (ii) Indian gazelle - (iii) Thylacine - (iv) Steller's sea cow 2. **Research Extinction Status**: We need to determine which of these species are indeed extinct according to the IUCN Red List: - **Dodo**: Extinct (last seen in the late 17th century). - **Indian Gazelle**: Not extinct; it is still found in the wild. - **Thylacine**: Extinct (last known individual died in captivity in 1936). - **Steller's Sea Cow**: Extinct (hunted to extinction by the 18th century). 3. **Compile the Extinct Species**: From our research, we find that the extinct species are: - Dodo (i) - Thylacine (iii) - Steller's Sea Cow (iv) 4. **Evaluate the Options**: Now we can evaluate the options provided in the question: - (a) (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) - Incorrect (Indian gazelle is not extinct) - (b) (ii) and (iv) - Incorrect (Indian gazelle is not extinct) - (c) (i), (iii) and (iv) - Correct (Dodo, Thylacine, and Steller's Sea Cow are extinct) - (d) (iii) and (iv) - Incorrect (Dodo is also extinct) 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is option (c) (i), (iii), and (iv). ### Final Answer: (c) (i), (iii) and (iv) ---
