Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Many elephants have been killed for their tusks. The ivory trade is the commercial, often illegal trade in the ivory tusks of African elephants is most common.
The trade in more recent times has led to the endangerment of species, resulting in restrictions and bans.
This trade is illegal, though it has not been completely reduced and some African elephant populations remain endangered.
