If the Bengal Tiger becomes extinct

  • hyenas and wolves will become scars

  • the wild areas will be safe for man and domestic animals

  • its gene pool will be lost forever

  • the populations of beautiful animals like deers will get stabilized.

Solution

C.

its gene pool will be lost forever

A large gene pool indicates extensive genetic diversity, which is associated with robust populations that can survive bouts of intense selection. Meanwhile, low genetic diversity (see inbreeding and population bottlenecks) can cause reduced biological fitness and an increased chance of extinction, although as explained by genetic drift new genetic variants, that may cause an increase in the fitness of organisms, are more likely to fix in the population if it is rather small.
