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.
