Question

Based on the given pie chart identify the INCORRECT statement.

• A. Diversity of eubacteria is the least.
• B. Animal diversity is the highest.
• C. Plant species diversity is equal to animal species diversity.
• D. Fungal diversity is more than protists diversity.

Hint:

In the chart, animals take the largest share and plants take a much smaller share.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
The pie chart shows the share of different groups in the total species diversity.

Step 2: Check the statements
Animal diversity has the largest sector, so it is the highest. The eubacteria sector is the smallest. The fungi sector is wider than the protists sector.

Step 3: Plants and animals
The plant sector is only a small fraction of the animal sector, so plant diversity is not equal to animal diversity.

Step 4: Conclusion
Statement C is the incorrect one.

Final Answer:
The incorrect statement is that plant species diversity equals animal species diversity. \[ \boxed{\text{(C) }\text{Plant species diversity is equal to animal species diversity.}} \]
