A Goose
B Goat
C Lizard

The ‘world’s rarest goose’ is the official state bird of Hawaii and the last remaining wild goose species native to the islands. Although at one time the nene came perilously close to extinction, today they number about 2,800 birds, with stable or increasing populations on Oahu, Maui, Molokai, the Big Island, and Kauai, which has the most nene of any of the islands.

The correct answer is Goose.
