Question

Match the following conservation strategies with their corresponding examples. 

Column I		Column II
(A)	Ex-situ Conservation	(I)	Biosphere Reserve
(B)	In-situ Conservation	(II)	Wildlife Sanctuary
(C)	Gene Bank	(III)	Cryopreservation
(D)	Botanical Garden	(IV)	Conservation outside natural habitat

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-IV
• B. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
• C. A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• D. A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III

Hint:

Conservation Methods: \[ \boxed{\text{In-situ} \rightarrow \text{National Parks, Sanctuaries, Biosphere Reserves}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Ex-situ} \rightarrow \text{Zoos, Botanical Gardens, Gene Banks}} \] Remember: \[ \boxed{\text{Cryopreservation} \rightarrow \text{Gene Banks}} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall Ex-situ Conservation. Conservation carried out outside the natural habitat is called: \[ \boxed{\text{Ex-situ Conservation}} \] Examples include botanical gardens, zoological parks and gene banks.

Step 2: Recall In-situ Conservation. Conservation within the natural habitat is called: \[ \boxed{\text{In-situ Conservation}} \] Example: \[ \boxed{\text{Wildlife Sanctuary}} \]

Step 3: Recall Gene Banks. Gene banks preserve genetic material through: \[ \boxed{\text{Cryopreservation}} \]

Step 4: Match the columns. \[ A \rightarrow IV \] \[ B \rightarrow II \] \[ C \rightarrow III \] \[ D \rightarrow IV \] Thus, \[ \boxed{A-IV,\;B-II,\;C-III,\;D-IV} \] Therefore, \[ \boxed{\text{(C)}} \] is the correct answer.
