Answer: (B) Sacred groves. Answer: (B) Sacred groves.
- A.Botanical gardens
- B.Sacred groves✓
- C.Wildlife safari parks
- D.Seed banks
Correct Answer
(B) Sacred groves
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (B) Sacred groves. Solution: The question asks for the exception. Sacred groves are tracts of forest protected in their natural habitat through religious/cultural tradition—an in-situ (on-site) method—so they are NOT ex-situ. Botanical gardens, wildlife safari parks and seed banks all involve protecting/maintaining organisms away from their natural habitat, making them genuine ex-situ methods. NCERT: NCERT Class XII Biology, Ch 13 Biodiversity and Conservation, p.225, lines 11–12: "Such sacred groves are found in Khasi and Jaintia Hills in Meghalaya, Aravalli Hills of Rajasthan"
