Step-by-step solution
Refer: NCERT | Class 12 | Page: 223 - 224 | Paragraph: 5,6 - 1,2 Narrowly utilitarian arguments for conserving biodiversity are based on direct economic benefits derived from nature, such as food, firewood, fibre, and medicines. More than 25,000 species of plants are used in traditional medicines. Thus, (A) matches with (II). Broadly utilitarian arguments are based on the ecosystem services provided by nature, such as oxygen production and pollination. Thus, (B) matches with (I). The ethical argument relates to the
