  1. AOnly one
  2. BOnly two
  3. CAll three
  4. DNoneCorrect

Explanation

Let's check each pair: 1. **Brazil - Indri:** Incorrect. The Indri (Indri indri) is the largest living lemur and is endemic to Madagascar, not Brazil. Brazil is known for its diverse wildlife, including monkeys and jaguars, but not indris. 2. **Indonesia - Elk:** Incorrect. Elk (Cervus canadensis) are large deer species primarily found in North America and East Asia (e.g., China, Mongolia). While Indonesia has deer species, the Elk is not native to its natural habitat. Indonesia is known for unique species like Orangutans and Komodo dragons. 3. **Madagascar - Bonobo:** Incorrect. Bonobos (Pan paniscus) are a species of great ape found only in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Central Africa. Madagascar is famous for its unique lemur species, but not bonobos. Therefore, none of the pairs are correctly matched.
