Observe the given graph representing the species-area relationship proposed by Alexander von Humboldt. Match the labels
Observe the given graph representing the species-area relationship proposed by Alexander von Humboldt. Match the labels (A, B, C, D) in List I with their correct descriptions or equations in List II.

List IList II
ALabel AIArea
BLabel BIISpecies richness
CLabel CIIIS=cAzS = cA^z
DLabel DIVlog⁡S=log⁡c+zlog⁡A\log S = \log c + z \log A


Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AA-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
  2. BA-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
  3. CA-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
  4. DA-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III

Correct answer

C. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV

Step-by-step solution

The given graph represents the species-area relationship proposed by Alexander von Humboldt.

In this graph:
The y-axis (Label A) represents Species richness.
The x-axis (Label B) represents Area.
The curve (Label C) represents the relationship on a normal scale, which is a rectangular hyperbola given by the equation S=cAzS = cA^z.
The straight line (Label D) represents the relationship on a logarithmic scale, given by the equation log⁡S=log⁡c+zlog⁡A\log S = \log c + z \log A.

Therefore, the correct matching is:
A →\rightarrow II (Species richness)
B →\rightarrow I (Area)
C →\rightarrow III (S=cAzS = cA^z)
D →\rightarrow IV (log⁡S=log⁡c+zlog⁡A\log S = \log c + z \log A)

Answer: A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
