Consider three sample areas with the following composition: 

Sample area I: has three species of birds, two are represented by one individual each and the third by four individuals
Sample area II: has three species of birds, each represented by two individuals
Sample area III: has a species of insects, a species of mammals and a species of birds, each with two individuals

Which area will be considered as the most diverse?
1. Sample area I
2. Sample area II
3. Sample area III
4. Sample area II and Sample area III are equally diverse

The difference between ex situ and in situ conservation of biodiversity is:
1. Ex situ conservation involves protecting an entire ecosystem, whereas in situ conservation focuses on the conservation of individual species outside their natural habitats
2. In situ conservation is less effective than ex situ conservation for endangered species
3. Ex situ conservation is only applicable to plants, whereas in situ conservation is only applicable to animals
4. In situ conservation involves protecting an entire ecosystem and its biodiversity at its natural site, whereas ex situ conservation involves protecting parts of the ecosystem or species outside their natural habitats
