Question

Biodiversity is determined by

• A. Number of individuals in an area
• B. Species richness
• C. Evenness
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both B and C

The variety and variability of living organisms (both plants and animals) are known as biodiversity. The variation measured by biodiversity is at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level. Species richness and evenness are major factors determining biodiversity. Tropics have the highest biodiversity.

So, the correct answer is 'Both B and C'.
