Correct answer: C

According to IUCN Red list, the status of Red panda (Ailurus fulgens) is endangered species. Endangered species are those species that are facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future. This category is used when the species suffered a population reduction of 80% or more.
Vulnerable species have sufficient population at present but are depleting fast. e.g., Golden langur, leopard cat. Extinct species no longer exist, e.g., Dodo. Critically endangered species are threatened to a greater extent.
