Answer

Brief Explanations:

CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) aims to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. Siberian tigers are endangered, and trading their fur internationally is restricted under CITES. The Lacey Treaty is mainly about illegal wildlife trade in the US context but not as comprehensive for international trade as CITES. There is no "Tiger Treaty" in this context, and EPA (Environmental - Protection Agency) is an agency, not a treaty related to this specific international wildlife - trade issue.

Answer:

C. CITES
