The lions in the Gir forest are protected as they come under . . . . . . . species.

dangerous
engendered
enamoured
endangered

The correct answer is: endangered.

The Gir forest is a protected area in Gujarat, India, that is home to the Asiatic lion, which is a critically endangered species. The lions in the Gir forest are protected by law and are not allowed to be hunted or killed.

The other options are incorrect.

  • Dangerous: The lions in the Gir forest are not considered to be dangerous to humans. In fact, they are very shy and avoid contact with humans.
  • Engendered: This word does not make sense in the context of the question.
  • Enamoured: This word means “to be filled with love or affection.” It does not make sense to say that the lions in the Gir forest are enamoured.

I hope this helps!
