The table below gives the population (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: Which area out of a to d shows maximum species diversity?

1. a
2. b
3. c
4. d

Correct answer: a

Solution

Species diversity is determined by the number of different species present in an area. Without the table data, the area with the highest species count (not population) would have the maximum diversity. Assuming 'a' has the most species, it is the correct answer.
