Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Genetic diversity refers to the variations within species, as highlighted by the example of Rauwolfia vomitoria. The species diversity is demonstrated by the greater amphibian diversity in the Western Ghats compared to the Eastern Ghats. Ecological diversity is described in relation to India's land area, which is only 2.4% of the world's total. The tropical richness is exemplified by the number of fish and orchid species found.
