    The table below gives the populations (in thousands) of ten species (A-J) in four areas (a-d) consisting of the number of habitats given within brackets against each. Study the table and answer the question which follows:
    Area and number of habitats Species and their populations (in thousands) in the areas
    A B C D E F G H I J
    a (11) 23 1.2 0.52 6.0 - 3.1 1.1 9.0 - 10.3
    b (11) 10.2 - 0.62 - 1.5 3.0 - 8.2 1.1 11.2
    c (13) 11.3 0.9 0.48 2.4 1.4 4.2 0.8 8.4 2.2 4.1
    d (12) 3.2 10.2 11.1 4.8 0.4 3.3 0.8 7.3 11.3 2.1
    Which area out of a to d shows maximum species diversity?

    A) b     

    B)                                        c

    C) d                                            

    D) a

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Habitat is the place where an organism live Population has been defined as a collective group of organisms of the same species occupying a particular place at a particular time. In the given table the area d has maximum species diversity, as there are 10 species (A-J) reside in 12 habitats, while in area c the 10 species reside in 13 habitats so, exhibit less diversity than area d.
