Each item in this section has a sentence with three underlined parts labelled (a), (b) and (c). Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response on the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter, i.e., (a), (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

Explanation
The pronoun in part (c) must agree with its plural antecedent 'animals'; the correct form is 'their own species', not 'its own species'. Parts (a) and (b) are grammatically correct. The pronoun–antecedent disagreement in (c) makes C the answer.
