Video transcript

Hello everyone here. We have a question saying The biograph geographic region that is rich in biodiversity and threatened with destruction is called A. An ecotone. An ecotone is an area that changes abruptly from one to another, so A. Is incorrect. B biodiversity hotspot, a biodiversity hotspot is a bio geographic region that is rich in biodiversity and threatened with destruction. So B is correct. But let's look at our other options.
