Solution

The correct option is B 200 strains of marine fungi
Biopiracy involves the exploitation and patents biological re­sources or bio-resources of other nations without proper authorisation from the countries concerned. It has several evidence like the Thai Ministry of Science and its Biotech Institute has accused the British University of Portsmouth of “bio-piracy” as they have refused to return up to 200 strains of marine fungi that they collected in coastal waters and swamps around Thailand.
So, the correct answer is option C.
