VIEW ANSWER
Answer: (C) cougars live in many areas of North America.

Explanation

The first sentence says cougars are wide-ranging big cats in North America, making Choice (C) correct. The passage states that pumas, mountain lions, and cougars are the same thing, so Choice (A) is incorrect. Nothing in the passage supports Choice (B), which says cougars are endangered. The passage states that cougars live about 18 years in the wild, so Choice (D) is incorrect.
