Read the given paragraph and select the option that correctly identifies P, Q, R and S.
According to Red list of International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), P is an extinct animal, Q is an endangered animal, R is a vulnerable animal whereas S is a critically endangered animal.

Options

A. P-Olive ridley turtle , Q-Passenger pigeon , R-Asian elephant , S-Giant panda
B. P-Sea mink , Q- Asiatic lion , R- Snow leopard , S- Great Indian bustard
C. P-Dodo , Q- Hawaiian crow , R- Giant panda , S- Snow leopard
D. P-Silvery pigeon , Q-Chinkara , R-Desert kangaroo , S- Two banded chameleon

Answer

To solve the question, we need to identify the animals corresponding to the categories of extinct (P), endangered (Q), vulnerable (R), and critically endangered (S) based on the information provided in the paragraph.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify P (Extinct Animal)**:
- According to the transcript, an extinct animal is one that no longer exists. The examples given include the T-Mingue and the Dodo.
- **Conclusion**: P = Dodo (or T-Mingue, but Dodo is more commonly recognized).

2. **Identify Q (Endangered Animal)**:
- An endangered animal is one that has a significantly reduced population, typically around 20% of its original numbers. The transcript mentions Asiatic lions and Hawaiian crows as examples of endangered animals.
- **Conclusion**: Q = Asiatic Lion (as it is a well-known endangered species).

3. **Identify R (Vulnerable Animal)**:
- A vulnerable animal is one whose population has decreased significantly, but not to the extent of being endangered. The transcript mentions that Asiatic animals and snow leopards are considered vulnerable.
- **Conclusion**: R = Snow Leopard (as it is a recognized vulnerable species).

4. **Identify S (Critically Endangered Animal)**:
- Critically endangered animals are those that are at an extremely high risk of extinction, with only about 10% of their population remaining. The transcript mentions the Great Indian Bustard as critically endangered.
- **Conclusion**: S = Great Indian Bustard (as it is a known critically endangered species).

### Final Identification:
- P = Dodo (Extinct)
- Q = Asiatic Lion (Endangered)
- R = Snow Leopard (Vulnerable)
- S = Great Indian Bustard (Critically Endangered)
