Consider three sample areas with the following composition:
| Sample area I: | has three species of birds, two are represented by one individual each and the third by four individuals |
| Sample area II: | has three species of birds, each represented by two individuals |
| Sample area III: | has a species of insects, a species of mammals and a species of birds, each with two individuals |
Which area will be considered as the most diverse?
1. Sample area I
2. Sample area II
3. Sample area III
4. Sample area II and Sample area III are equally diverse

| I: | The current mass extinction of species is the ‘Sixth Extinction’. |
| II: | The current species extinction rates are estimated to be 100 to 1,000 times faster than in the pre-human times. |
| III: | Our activities are responsible for the faster rates. |
