Answer: (A) Wildlife Safari parks. Answer: (A) Wildlife Safari parks.

  1. A.Wildlife Safari parks
  2. B.Biodiversity hot spots
  3. C.Amazon rainforest
  4. D.Himalayan region

Correct Answer

(A) Wildlife Safari parks

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (A) Wildlife Safari parks. Solution: In ex-situ conservation, threatened animals and plants are taken out of their natural habitat and given special care; NCERT names zoological parks, botanical gardens and wildlife safari parks as serving this purpose. Biodiversity hotspots, the Amazon rainforest and the Himalayan region are all in-situ (on-site) settings, so options 2, 3 and 4 are wrong. NCERT: NCERT Class XII Biology, Ch 13 Biodiversity and Conservation, p.225, lines 18–19: "Zoological parks, botanical gardens and wildlife safari parks serve this purpose."
