Question : 160 of 160

Marks: +1, -0

In this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage.
Indonesia's tsunami has raised fears that another deadly wave could wipe out the few dozen Javan rhinos still living in the world. There are believed to be fewer than 70 of the critically endangered species in Ujung Kulon National Park not far the volcano that triggered the killer wave. None of the animals are killed in the disaster - which left more than 400 people dead - but officials are warning that another deadly wave could slam into the stricken region. That is putting pressure on conservationists at the National Park to ramp up a longstanding plan to find a suitable secondary habitat for the rhinos. Plans to find a second home for the species have been in the works for about eight years, with conservationists surveying areas all over Java and neighboring Sumatra but so far without success.
The shy creature, whose folds of loose skin give it the appearance of wearing armor plating, once numbered in the
thousands and roamed across Southeast Asia. But, like other rhino species across the world, poaching and human encroachment on its habitat has led to a dramatic population decline. The rhino horns are used in traditional Asian medicine fetching ever higher prices on the black market despite a lack of scientific evidence showing the horn has any medicinal value.
Statement:
Javan rhinos have become extinct.
Choose the appropriate one from the following options
A - The statement is definitely true.
B - The statement is probably true.
C - The statement cannot be determined.
D - The statement is definitely false.
