Solution

The wild buffalo is considered an endangered species primarily because its population is diminishing. This can be due to a variety of reasons including habitat loss, hunting, and disease. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) its population is diminishing.

Although poaching is strictly prohibited (option d), this is a measure to protect the species, not a reason why it is endangered. The statement that it is found exclusively in a particular area (option c) could contribute to its endangered status if that area is threatened, but it is not the primary reason. Finally, the wild buffalo has not become extinct (option b), as there are still some populations left, although they are decreasing.
