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
