Given below are two statements. Statement I: There is less species biodiversity in tropical latitudes than in temperate region. Statement II: Tropical environments unlike temperate ones are less seasonal, relatively more constant and predictable. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Step-by-step solution

Statement I is false because tropical latitudes have greater species biodiversity compared to temperate regions. The favorable environmental conditions in the tropics support a higher number of species. Statement II is true because tropical environments are less seasonal, relatively more constant, and predictable compared to temperate regions. This constant environment promotes niche specialization and leads to greater species diversity. Therefore, Statement I is false, but Statement II is true. Answer: Statement I
