C) In spite of conservation efforts,

D) While similar to the anteater

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A. Because some people hunt it for its scales, the pangolin is possibly the most endangered animal in the world. This is the correct option to choose because an adverb clause has to meet three requirements to be considered as such.

It has to contain a subject, a verb, and it will keep the clause from expressing a complete process of thought. All of these requirements are met by option a.
