The correct answer is: B. species localised in a specific region.<\/p>\n
An endemic species is a species that is native to a particular geographic region and is not found anywhere else in the world. Endemic species can be found on land, in freshwater, or in marine environments. They can be plants, animals, or even microorganisms.<\/p>\n
Endemic species are often found in areas with unique environmental conditions, such as islands, mountain ranges, or deserts. These unique conditions can make it difficult for other species to colonize these areas, which helps to protect endemic species from extinction.<\/p>\n
However, endemic species are also vulnerable to extinction due to habitat loss, climate change, and other human activities. As a result, many endemic species are now threatened or endangered.<\/p>\n
