Passage-2

A male tiger vas removed from Pench Tiger Reserve and was relocated in Parma National Park. Later, this tiger trekked toward his home 250 miles away. The trek of this solitary tiger highlights a crisis. Many wildlife reserves exist as islands of fragile habitat in a vast sea of humanity, yet tigers can range over a hundred miles, seeking prey, mates and territory. Nearly a third of India's tigers live outside tiger reserves, a situation that is dangerous for both human and animal. Prey and tigers can only disperse if there are recognized corridors of land between protected areas to allow unmolested passage.

Which of the following is the most rational and crucial message given by the passage?

(A) The conflict between man and wildlife cannot be resolved, no matter what efforts we make.

(B) Safe wildlife corridors between protected areas is an essential aspect of conservation efforts.

(C) India needs to declare more protected areas and set up more tiger reserves.

(D) India's National Parks and Tiger Reserves need to be professionally managed.
