Correct answer: B
Species richness refers to the number of species per unit area. Species evenness is the relative abundance with which each species is represented in an area. Thus variation in the number of species, kinds of species as well as the number of individuals per species lead to greater diversity. Area(d) and number of habitats (12) shows the maximum species diversity.
