The correct answer is Endemic.

Key Points

  • Endemic to a region refers to a taxon whose range is restricted to that region.
  • The taxon can be of any rank, though it typically falls at or below the family level.
  • Its geographic range can be very broad, spanning an entire continent, or very limited, only a few square metres.
  • Endemism is an essential concept because it served as the foundation for the creation of biogeographic regions in the past.
