Question

Species diversity in an ecosystem mainly depends on

• A. Light intensity
• B. Less temperature
• C. Rain fall

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rain fall

Species diversity is a measure of the diversity within an ecological community that incorporates both species richness (the number of species in a community) and the evenness of species abundances and it varies from region to region and mainly depends on rainfall apart from other other factors like temperature, light intensity etc.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
