D Correct answer
Explanation

Barbastelle (Barbastella barbastellus) and Pipistrelle (various Pipistrellus species) are both types of bats, specifically microbats. They are not 'much maligned' in reality - bats play crucial ecological roles as pollinators and insect controllers. Lizards, spiders, and snakes are entirely different classes of animals.
