(i) In Meghalaya sacred groves represent a long tradition of environmental conservation based on indigenous knowledge by the tribal communities. They are among the few least disturbed forest patches which are serving as the natural treasure house of biodiversity and a refuge for a large number of endemic, endangered and rare taxa. The general term for sacred groves in the Khasi Hills is 'Khlaw Kyntang' or 'Law Kyntang' or 'Law Lyngdoh' while in the Jaintia Hills it is called 'Khloo Blai'. The sacred groves in the Khasi Hills and Jaintia Hills District are fundamentally based on the traditional religious belief of the tribals i.e., Khasis and Pnars, which is called Seng Khasi and Niam Tre respectively.

UNESCO MAB i.e., man and biosphere is an intergovernmental scientific program which was launched in order to improve the relation between people and their environment. It provides opportunities for education to improve human livelihood, it promotes the innovative approaches to economic development that are environmentally sustainable. It also includes the preservation of plants and animals under biosphere reserves with the help of human efforts. Thus, the correct answer is option A.

There are many reasons to conserve biodiversity, but all equally important. They can be grouped into three categories: narrowly utilitarian (economic benefit), broadly utilitarian (importance in natural ecological balance), and ethical (moral reasons). 

In ecology, the word conservation means management and protection of natural resources. Conservation ecology is concerned with the preservation and management of biodiversity and natural resources. 

A naturally occurring sanctuary, such as an island, which protects species from getting hunted, predated or poached is called as a wildlife refuge. It is also known as a wildlife sanctuary. Being a protected area, it is a geographic territory within which wildlife is protected. Private operations are limited in such areas. Thus, making numerous wildlife sanctuaries will be most helpful.

Madhya Pradesh, is endowed with rich and diverse forest resources. It is a reservoir of biodiversity. The forest area of the state constitutes 31% of the geographical area of the state and 12.44% of the forest area of the country. Legally this area has been classified into reserve forest, protected forest and unclassified forest. One third of the state is forested and offers a unique and exciting panorama of wildlife. In the National parks of Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Shivpuri and many other, one has the rare opportunity to see the tiger, the bison and a wide variety of deer and antelope in sylvan surroundings.

The biosphere can be defined as a global ecological system that integrates all living beings and their relationships with other elements of the lithosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. To preserve the biosphere for future generations, one needs to understand the livings things present and how they interact with their environment and the extent to with they are interdependent.

Wildlife Week is celebrated from October 2 to 8 annually in India. For the conservation and protection of the biodiversity, this initiative is given importance. In this week, seminars to bring the more difficult aspects of wildlife conservation are conducted. Biodiversity is also being conserved ex-situ and in-situ.

Biodiversity includes the enormous diversity of flora and fauna in the world. A great threat to it is now possessed by the increased rates of destructive activities. Various methods are being adopted by the authorities to conserve the species richness at various levels. If any species gets extinct, the gene pool of that species will be lost. So, the need for conservation of species is to conserve the different genetic resources.

Captive breeding is the process of maintaining plants or animals in controlled environments, such as wildlife reserves, zoos, botanic gardens, and other conservation facilities. It is sometimes employed to help species that are being threatened by human activities. The activities which pose threat include habitat loss, fragmentation, over-hunting or fishing, pollution, predation, disease, and parasitism. The objective of many captive populations is to hold similar levels of genetic diversity to what is found in wild populations.

A) IUCN stands for the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

In a reciprocal cross, a male expressing the trait of interest will be crossed with a female not expressing the trait or vice versa. The method can be used for the protection of white lions from getting extinct as some white lions will be produced in the progeny. There are fewer than 12 White Lions in the wilds of their endemic habitat. The need for conserving white lions is extreme now.

Water pollution is the mixing of contaminants to the water bodies (e.g., lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater) which changes the desired quality of water. Water pollution affects the entire biosphere, plants and organisms living in these bodies of water.

Water pollution affects the entire biosphere, plants and organisms as all the life forms depend on water for their survival. In almost all cases, the effect is damaging not only to individual species and population but also to the natural biological communities. 

Wildlife sanctuary is a place where animals live in a natural habitat. The place where animals live in artificial habitat is known as zoo. 

Reforestation can be defined as the establishment of forest by planting trees in those areas where there is no previous forest cover. This can be done either naturally by means of natural seeding or we can go for artificial methods in which the trees are planted or seeding is done directly.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Wildlife represents the uncultivated or undomesticated species. They have a wide gene pool. The cultivated plants and domesticated animals have a narrow gene pool because these organisms have been selected by man over a period of thousands of year. Further, the cultivated plants and domesticated animals grow in protected environments. The uncultivated plants and nondomesticated animals, on the other hand, grow in natural surroundings in conjunction with disease-causing organisms and depend on the naturally evolved defense mechanisms. These organisms have evolved disease resistance, mechanisms and are a rich source of disease resistance germplasm.
