Question

According to the Shannon Diversity Index, which of the five blocks above, with each containing 36 squares, would show the greatest diversity? The different shades represent different species, and more squares of a shade represent higher abundance.

A. 5
B. 2
C. 4
D. 1

Answer 1

so here correct option is A. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

solution

as number of population groups live in a definite area is called diversity

so here in 1 there is only 2 groups of population

and in 2 there is 3 types of population groups

and in 3 there is 2 type of population groups

and in 4 there is 4 type population group

but they are not not evenly abundant and population of 1 group that is much less

so it might be a foreign population group

so here in 5 there is 4 type of population group which means it has higher diversity compare to other

so here correct option is A. 5
