Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Hunting is the operation of killing birds and animals mainly for the use of their flesh, feathers, skin, ivory, and other products.
The government has banned this due to the risk of wildlife extinction and also maintains biodiversity for the existence of all the living organisms.
Hence the dodo is also extinct mainly because of the hunting by the Dutch people. They were hunted for their flesh.
Since the dodo was a flightless bird, they could be easily hunted and killed for its flesh. The increase in poaching and also predation led to the extinction of this bird.
Hence dodo birds became extinct because of its flesh.
Till now there is no single complete dodo specimen.
So it is difficult to determine the color and the external appearance of it.
