Solution
The correct option is D Advanced ex situ conservation of biodiversity
Cryopreservation
Cryopreservation is the technique of using very low temperatures like −196∘C to preserve living cells and tissues. In vitro conservation of the gametes or germplasm of certain endangered plants and animal species entails the storage of the cells in liquid nitrogen, to preserve them.
This is an ex situ approach to conservation as the genetic resource is taken out from the natural habitat in order to preserve them.
In situ conservation
In situ (on site) conservation is an approach where genetic resources of various plant and animal species are protected in their natural habitat or environment. Sacred groves are an approach of in situ conservation.
