Answer 1

C. Ii. And iii.

Step-by-step explanation:

Snow leopards are the endangered specie. They have been hunted down by the people to extract their valuable bones, organs and skins that are used for the manufacture of other products. The other reason include the stress on the food of the leopards by the human population. People living around the habitat of the leopards overgraze the greenery. Lack of greenery reduces the prey of leopards and hence leads to lower down the population of leopards. Hunting of the leopards is very prevalent as a measure against saving the livestock of the farmers. Most often, the leopards are hunted down because of their intrusion in the residential areas to find food.
