Answer : 3. "Unsafe"
Explanation :

The Wandering Albatross, the world's largest flying bird with a wingspan of 3.5 metres, is facing extinction due to threats such as long-range fishing and plastic consumption. Climate change poses an additional threat to their nesting sites in the Southern Hemisphere. These marine nomads spend most of their 60-year lives at sea, breeding on subantarctic islands such as Marion and Prince Edward. With a sensitive conservation status, urgent measures are needed to protect these majestic birds and their unique habitats.
