Solution

The correct option is D Mango
Genetic diversity represents the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species. Whereas, the genetic variability describes the tendency of genetic characteristics to vary. This diversity lets the population adapt to changing environments. For example, In India, we find mangoes with different flavors, colors, fiber content, sugar content, and shelf life, as it has the greatest genetic diversity in our country. The great variation is due to the genetic diversity.
So, the correct answer is 'Mango'.
