A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct phrasing is 'indigenous to Madagascar and the Comoro Islands' without an article before Madagascar. Country names do not take articles (unlike 'the United States' or 'the Netherlands'). The article 'the' is only used for Comoro Islands because it refers to an island chain. Options B, C, and D incorrectly add articles.
