Match List - I with List II
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| A. The Evil Quartet | III. Causes of biodiversity losses |
| B. Ex situ conservation | I. Cryopreservation |
| C. Lantana camara | II. Alien species invasion |
| D. Dodo | IV. Extinction |
Show Hint
Evil Quartet = Biodiversity loss.
Ex situ = Cryopreservation.
\textit{Lantana} = Invasive. Dodo = Extinct.
Ex situ = Cryopreservation.
\textit{Lantana} = Invasive. Dodo = Extinct.

- A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
%This option is repeated in original.
Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The Evil Quartet encompasses the drivers of biodiversity reduction: habitat destruction, excessive harvesting, introduced species proliferation, and co-extinctions. The most accurate designation is "Factors contributing to biodiversity decline" (III).
Conservation efforts undertaken beyond the species' native environment, such as freezing biological material, are termed Ex-situ conservation (I).
*Lantana camara* is classified as an invasive alien organism (II).
The Dodo represents a species that no longer exists (IV).
