Answer: B. The Western Ghats

A biodiversity hotspot is a region very rich in species, especially endemic species, which is also under threat. The Western Ghats (Sahyadri) have a very large number of endemic plants, amphibians and reptiles, and are counted among the world’s biodiversity hotspots, along with the Himalaya and the Indo-Burma region.
