Answer 1

I'd go for C: the original text focuses a lot on many types of animals so B would not be good (it talks only about one animal species), and A for the same reasons: why choose only one type of animals?Also D completely forgets about all the animals.I think C gives the most informative summary.

Answer 2

C would be the most accurate choice a and b only give you a partial summery about the paragraph
