Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - 1, 2 and 3
The Red Data Book records rare and endangered species of animals, plants and fungi, so all three are covered. It grew out of the IUCN’s lists of threatened species, which now include fungi as well as animals and plants, so stopping at animals or at plants is incomplete.
