Answer :

Endemic Species are -----------

( B ) species that are native to a particular place.

The correct answer is B. species that are native to a particular place. Endemic species are species of animals or plants that exist only in one limited geographical area. A species can be endemic to an entire continent, some part of a continent, or even to only a relatively small area; thus, an endemic species might be found only in a single lake, a particular river or a small island. Often, endemic species are confined to a certain area because they are highly adapted to the characteristics of a particular environment. Lava lizards, for example, are an endemic species in the Islands of Galapagos.
