    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     When we conserve and protect the whole ecosystem, its biodiversity at all levels is protected. This approach is called in situ (on site) conservation. It includes hotspots, biosphere reserves, national parks, sanctuaries, sacred groves, etc. However, when threatened animals and plants are taken out from their natural habitat and placed in special setting, where they can be protected and given special care, this approach is called ex situ (off site) conservation. It includes zoological parks, botanical gardens and wildlife safari parks, etc.
