Question

Animals and plants are best protected in

• A. Botanical Gardens
• B. Zoological Parks
• C. National Parks
• D. Wildlife Sanctuaries

Answer 1

The correct option is C National Parks

In national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, both plants and animals are protected. However, the key difference is that human activities are tightly restricted inside a national park, while wildlife sanctuaries allow certain human activities with permission. Thus, the difference in the amount of human interference makes national parks a relatively better conserved place. In zoological parks, only animals are conserved. In botanical gardens there are collections of plants which are cultivated and displayed, labelled with their botanical names.
