Solution
The correct option is D rectangular hyperbolic
The species-area relationship or species-area curve describes the relationship between the area of a habitat, or of part of a habitat, and the number of species found within that area. According to AV Humboldt, species richness is also function of the area of a region (directly proportional). The species richness increases upto a certain limit with increase in area of exploration. The graph obtained generally reflects rectangular hyperbolic function.
