Biodiversity is described as

AThe range of different species in an environment ✓ Correct

BThe seasonal and daily changes in an environment

CThe way species differ from one another

DThe influence of physical factors on the environment

Correct answer: (A) The range of different species in an environment

Explanation

Biodiversity is the range and variety of different species living in an environment.

Seasonal and daily changes describe environmental variation over time, not the variety of species.

The way species differ from one another describes variation within life, but biodiversity is the overall range present.

The influence of physical factors on the environment describes ecological conditions, not species variety.

Biodiversity spans genetic, species and ecosystem levels of living variety.

Rich biodiversity makes ecosystems more stable and resilient to disturbance.
