[amp_mcq option1=”New Zealand” option2=”Australia” option3=”Nepal” option4=”Austria” correct=”option2″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (b), Australia.<\/p>\n
A megadiverse country is a nation that contains at least 1,500 species of vascular plants as well as a high number of endemic species. Australia is home to over 300,000 species of plants and animals, of which over 80% are found nowhere else on Earth. The country’s unique biodiversity is due to its long isolation from other landmasses, as well as its diverse climate and geography.<\/p>\n
New Zealand (a) is also a megadiverse country, with over 1,000 species of native plants and animals. However, its biodiversity is not as extensive as Australia’s, as the country is much smaller and has a more temperate climate.<\/p>\n
Nepal (c) is a biodiversity hotspot, but it is not a megadiverse country. The country is home to over 8,000 species of plants and animals, but it does not have the same level of endemism as Australia or New Zealand.<\/p>\n
Austria (d) is not a megadiverse country. The country is home to over 4,000 species of plants and animals, but it does not have the same level of biodiversity as the other countries listed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
