I had been asked this question in quiz.

Answer 1

Right option is (b) Rare

To explain I would say: Those species called whose members are few and live in a small geographical area and are very uncommon, scarce, or infrequently encountered are known as rare species.  Some examples of rare species are Malabar Giant Squirrel, Gee’s Golden Langur, Dugong, Indian Giant Flying Squirrel, etc.
