Solution

The correct option is D S = CAZ
The relationship between species richness and area says that within a region, species richness increases with increasing explored area only up to a certain limit.

Across a wide variety of taxa such as angiosperms, plants, birds, bats, etc., the relation between species richness and area is represented by a rectangular hyperbola curve which is expressed by the equation

S = CAZ

Where, S is species richness

A is available area

Z is slope of the line

C is Y- intercept

Hence the correct option is
d. S = CAZ
