  1. A.Biodiversity conservation✓
  2. B.Semi-conservative method
  3. C.Sustainable development
  4. D.in-situ conservation

Solution

Taking threatened species out of their habitat into a protected setting — zoos, botanical gardens, seed banks, cryopreservation — is ex-situ conservation. In-situ conservation protects them in their own habitat. (Of the options offered, 'biodiversity conservation' is the accepted answer.)
