Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The question asks about the organization that releases the list of endangered species. The correct answer is the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). Below is a brief explanation of why IUCN is the correct option:
- GEAC: Stands for Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee. It is involved in assessing genetically modified organisms but not in listing endangered species.
- WWF: The World Wildlife Fund is heavily involved in conservation but does not officially release the list of endangered species.
- FOAM: There is no well-known organization by this acronym related to endangered species.
- IUCN: The International Union for Conservation of Nature is responsible for the IUCN Red List, which is a comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biological species, marking it as the correct answer.
Thus, the correct answer to the question is IUCN.

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :
