a) people think it is cruel to hunt animals.
b) people would think that it is okay to hunt everything.
c) unregulated hunting could lead to species becoming endangered.
d) unregulated hunting means that the government wouldn't make money.

C)Unregulated hunting could lead to species becoming endangered.

unregulated hunting could lead to species becoming endangered. Regulating hunting ensures that the species will not experience too much of a population decline.

The correct answer is -

C) Unregulated hunting could lead to species becoming endangered.

If hunting (capturing or killing of wild animals and birds) is done and not regulated in a particular area (that is overpopulated with deer), it can decline their number thus making the deer species endangered. This means that decline to the extent that the species experience a danger of becoming extinct/eliminated completely.

Thus, it needs to be regulated in the area that is severely overpopulated with deer.

Therefore, option C) is the right answer.

option c is the correct answer.
