BA biogeographical region with a specified percentage of endemic species
CBoth (a) and (b) ✓ Correct
DNeither (a) nor (b)

Explanation
★Both features characterize a biodiversity hotspot, so the answer is both (a) and (b).
★A biodiversity hotspot is under threat from human activities.
★It is also a biogeographical region with a set share of endemic species.
★So both these features together define a hotspot.
★Hence the answer combines both.
★So the answer is both (a) and (b).
