Once common on the dry plains of the Indian subcontinent, as few as 250 individuals were estimated in 2011 to survive and the species is critically endangered by hunting and loss of its habitat, which consists of large expanses of dry grassland and scrub. These birds are often found associated in the same habitat as blackbuck. In Rajasthan, the largest stronghold of the 'Great Indian Bustard', became the first state to announce a plan to recover its critically endangered state bird.

  2. Keystone species

  3. Endemic species

  4. Sacred species

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A keystone species is a species that has a disproportionately large effect on its environment relative to its abundance. Such species are described as playing a critical role in maintaining the structure of an ecological community, affecting many other organisms in an ecosystem and helping to determine the types and numbers of various other species in the community. 

Extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon), normally a species.
Endemic species is one that is only found in that region and nowhere else in the world. They are of conservation concern because they are not widespread and may be confined to only one or two protected areas. 
Certain life forms, often a keystone species, are sacred to indigenous peoples because they present a body of knowledge and ways leading to balanced relationship with life.
