Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

California Condors have been in decline about as long as European Settlements began to spread across North America. These birds have been on the U.S endangered species list since 1967 and were near extinction when their captive-breeding program began. California Condors also mature and reproduce slowly.
