Vedclass · Answer

(A) The correct matches are as follows:$1$. $(i)$ Nile perch in Lake Victoria is an example of the introduction of an alien species,which caused the extinction of cichlid fish. Thus,$(i) - (iv)$.$2$. $(ii)$ Narrowly utilitarian arguments for biodiversity conservation include direct economic benefits like food,firewood,fiber,construction material,industrial products,and medicinal products. These are often considered obvious reasons for human exploitation leading to habitat destruction. Thus,$(ii) - (i)$.$3$. $(iii)$ The main cause for biodiversity loss is habitat loss and fragmentation (habitat destruction). Thus,$(iii) - (ii)$.$4$. $(iv)$ Hotspots are regions with very high levels of species richness and high degree of endemism. Thus,$(iv) - (iii)$.Therefore,the correct matching is $(i-iv, ii-i, iii-ii, iv-iii)$.
