Which term refers to organisms likely to become endangered?

Endangered species
Threatened species
Protected species
Vulnerable species

The correct answer is: Threatened species

Out of the provided choices, B is the most suitable answer because a threatened species is one considered to be at risk of becoming endangered in the near future. Endangered species (option A) have already experienced a dramatic decline in population and are at immediate risk of extinction. Protected species (option C) are not necessarily at risk of becoming endangered, but they do have some legal or conservation protections in place. Vulnerable species (option D) may be at risk, but not as critically as threatened species. Therefore, option B is the only choice that specifically refers to organisms that are likely to become endangered.
