Solution
The correct option is D Species Diversity
Although at first glance, the image might seem like a representation of genetic diversity, it is important to recall that genetic biodiversity refers to the differences at the genetic level between individuals of the same species. Though the above image represents only one type of organism – that is frogs, these frogs belong to different species as denoted by their scientific names. They all belong to the same genus – Philautus, but each frog represents a different species and hence, this image can represent the species biodiversity of frogs in a given area.
