Answer:
The correct answer would be the animal is visually appealing.
Endangered species are those which are on the verge of extinction in near future and require immediate steps for their conservation.
The principal threats to the species are:
- Loss of habitat due to human intervention such as deforestation, building of dams, agriculture practices et cetera.
- Spread of invasive species.
- Increased pollution and global warming.
- Unsustainable hunting of animals for products like fur, tusks, meat et cetera.
- Diseases
The visual appearance of an animal is not a threat to the organism and thus, it does not determine if an animal should be placed on the endangered species list.
