(B) The diversity of living organisms present on the Earth is vast. According to an estimate by researchers,it is about $7$ million.Ecologists calculate the total number of species present in the world by using statistical comparisons between the species richness of well-studied groups of insects in temperate and tropical regions.These ratios are then extrapolated to other groups of plants and animals to estimate the total species richness present on the Earth.
