(A) Species diversity is determined by species richness (the number of species present) and species evenness (the relative abundance of each species).In the provided table, we can count the number of species present (where population is not '-'):- Area $p$: $8$ species present $(A, B, C, D, F, G, H, J)$- Area $q$: $7$ species present $(A, C, E, F, H, I, J)$- Area $r$: $10$ species present $(A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J)$- Area $s$: $10$ species present $(A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J)$Comparing areas $r$ and $s$, area $s$ shows a more balanced distribution (evenness) of population sizes across the species compared to area $r$, where some populations are very low (e.g., $0.48, 0.8$). Therefore, area $s$ exhibits the maximum species diversity.

Area and No. of habitats	$A$	$B$	$C$	$D$	$E$	$F$	$G$	$H$	$I$	$J$
$p(11)$	$2.3$	$1.2$	$0.52$	$6.0$	-	$3.1$	$1.1$	$9.0$	-	$10.3$
$q(11)$	$10.2$	-	$0.62$	-	$1.5$	$3.0$	-	$8.2$	$1.1$	$11.2$
