Which one of the following reptilian organism is found exclusively in New Zealand only ?
Answer: D
The reptile found only in New Zealand is the tuatara.

Alligators live in the south-eastern United States and China, and the gavial (gharial) in the rivers of the Indian subcontinent. Heloderma (printed Helloderma), the Gila monster and beaded lizard, lives in North and Central America.
