Because the Kiwi lives in New Zealand, we can eliminate "absent from" and "dearth in," as "dearth" means lack and is not used in a gramatically correct way in that answer choice (it is a noun, and you usually hear about "dearths of" things). Similarly, "insular in" is also gramatically incorrect, and doesn't fit the sentence ("insular" means ignorant about cultures one has never encountered). Since the kiwi not only lives in New Zealand, but it lives only in New Zealand and is "found nowhere else in the world," it is not only "extant in" (still existing in) New Zealand, it is "endemic to" the country—meaning that is found there, but nowhere else. So, "endemic to" is the correct answer.
