Q1Which one of the following areas in India is a hotspot of biodiversity?
Explanation
The Western Ghats are one of India’s globally recognised biodiversity hotspots, with high species richness and many endemic plants and animals. The Gangetic Plains are ecologically important and densely populated, but they are not listed as a biodiversity hotspot in the same sense. The Eastern Coast has coastal and deltaic ecosystems, yet it is not the hotspot asked here. The Eastern Ghats also contain important habitats, but they are more fragmented and are not the recognised Indian hotspot among these choices. Thus, Western Ghats is the correct answer.
