Red list contains data or information on
Answer: (C) Threatened species. Answer: (C) Threatened species.
- A.All economically important plants
- B.Plants whose products are in international trade
- C.Threatened species✓
- D.Marine vertebrates only
Correct Answer
(C) Threatened species
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (C) Threatened species. Solution: The IUCN Red List is a catalogue documenting species facing the threat of extinction; NCERT cites the IUCN Red List (2004) when describing extinctions and the more than 15,500 species worldwide facing the threat of extinction. It is not a list of economically important plants, trade plants, or marine vertebrates only, so options A, B and D are incorrect. NCERT: NCERT Class XII Biology, Ch 13 Biodiversity and Conservation, p.222, lines 5–6: "more than 15,500 species world-wide are facing the threat of extinction."
