Answer:

The correct answer is B. The Black Rhino is on the verge of extinction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Black Rhino is a mammal from the rhinoceros family. It is the second largest rhinoceros on the African continent after the White Rhino. The animals, which weigh up to 1,400 kilograms, are residents of the savannahs and open landscapes and can be found today in East and South Africa, among others. There they mainly feed on soft plant food, mostly from different types of acacia. The rhino is heavily hunted due to the horns and is threatened with extinction, as only about 5,000 Black Rhinos can be found today, while almost a million Black Rhinos lived in Africa a hundred years ago.
