Which Type of Species is Most Likely to Go Extinct

Question

Which type of species is most likely to go extinct?  
A) Underharvested
B) Endemic
C) Widely distributed
D) Generalist
E) Introduced

Accepted Answer

Endemic species are those that are only found in a specific geographic location. They are more vulnerable to extinction because any changes or disruptions in their small habitat can have a huge impact on their survival. In contrast, widely distributed and generalist species have a greater chance of survival because they can adapt to different environments and can bounce back from disturbances. Underharvested and introduced species may have negative impacts on their new environment, but they may also have natural predators and diseases that keep their populations in check.
