Explanation:
Biodiversity can be classified into three levels:
Alpha (Ξ±) Diversity β Within habitat diversity
- Refers to species diversity within a particular area or ecosystem.
Beta (Ξ²) Diversity β Between habitat diversity
- Measures the change in species composition between different habitats or ecosystems. It helps in understanding how species vary across landscapes.
Gamma (Ξ³) Diversity β Global or ecosystem diversity
- Refers to the overall diversity of species across multiple ecosystems or an entire region.
Since B-Diversity (Ξ²-Diversity) refers to the variation in species composition between different habitats, the correct answer is:
(B) Between habitat diversity.
