• A. Large number of species
• B. Abundance of endemic species
• C. Mostly located in the polar regions
• D. Mostly located in the tropics

An abundance of endemic species, which are species native to the place is a characteristic feature of biodiversity hotspots. Hotspots are mostly found in tropics. Polar regions do not have ideal conditions for hotspots.
