Correct answer: A
Zoos, botanical gardens, and wildlife safari parks are examples of ex-situ conservation. In contrast, sacred groves, biosphere reserves, national parks, and wildlife sanctuaries represent in-situ conservation methods.
Ex-situ conservation involves protecting a species outside its natural habitat, often through facilities like zoos and botanical gardens, where conditions are managed to support the survival and reproduction of the species.
