• B. Both a and b
• C. Sanctuary is a natural habitat for animals and birds
• D. Zoo is an artificial habitat for animals and birds

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Zoo is an artificial habitat for animals and birds

The main difference between zoos and sanctuaries is how they acquire their animals. A zoo might buy, sell, breed, or trade animals, or even capture animals from the wild. The rights of the individual are not considered. A sanctuary does not breed, buy, sell or trade animals. A sanctuary also does not capture animals from the wild but acquires only animals who can no longer survive in the wild.
