Vedclass · Answer

(C) The arguments for biodiversity conservation are categorized into three types:$1$. Narrowly utilitarian: Humans derive countless direct economic benefits from nature such as food (cereals,pulses,fruits),firewood,fiber,construction material,industrial products (tannins,lubricants,dyes,resins,perfumes) and products of medicinal importance. Thus,$(A)$ matches with $(iii)$.$2$. Broadly utilitarian: Biodiversity plays a major role in many ecosystem services that nature provides. The fast-dwindling Amazon forest is estimated to produce,through photosynthesis,$20$ percent of the total oxygen in the earth's atmosphere. Other services include pollination and aesthetic pleasures. Thus,$(B)$ matches with $(i)$.$3$. Ethical: This argument relates to what we owe to millions of plant,animal and microbe species with whom we share this planet. Every species has an intrinsic value,even if it may not be of current or any economic value to us. We have a moral duty to care for their well-being and pass on our biological legacy in good order to future generations. Thus,$(C)$ matches with $(ii)$.Therefore,the correct matching is $(A)-(iii), (B)-(i), (C)-(ii)$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(A)$ Narrowly utilitarian argument	$(i)$ Conserving biodiversity for major ecosystem services
$(B)$ Broadly utilitarian argument	$(ii)$ Every species has an intrinsic value and moral duty to pass our biological legacy in good order to future generations
$(C)$ Ethical argument	$(iii)$ Receiving benefits like food,medicine and industrial products

Column-$A$ (Taxonomic Group)	Column-$B$ (Proportion of total species)
$A$. Animals	$1$. More than $70\%$
$B$. Plants	$2$. Around $22\%$
$C$. Insects	$3$. More than $70\%$ of total animals
$D$. Fungi	$4$. More than combined fish,amphibians,reptiles $\&$ mammals
