Explanation:

1st and 3rd statements are incorrect.
Endemic species are limited by geographical constraints.
Endemic species are those which are only found in a given region or location and nowhere else in the world. So the region which the species is endemic to ends up being called the “endemic site”, a “national endemic”, a “geographical range endemic”, or a political region endemic depending on the location. But you see endemic plants and animals are those that are unique to a specific geographic region; hence, this makes them incredibly unique and more vulnerable to extinction. Because they are only found in certain locations, they require special conservation efforts.
