Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Gene pool comprises all the genes and their various alleles in a population of plant or animal species.
When the Bengal tiger becomes extinct, its gene pool will be lost until the end of time forever. In the event that the Bengal tiger becomes extinct, the total species is lost everlastingly since it is the genes and chromosomes that determine the species. Hyenas and wolves. populations will increase as the Bengal tiger will not eat them. The wild area is already safe for domestic men and animals if they don.t interfere with the resources of the Bengal tiger.
