Answer: 2. 34

Biodiversity hotspots are regions with very high species richness and many endemic species that are under threat. Norman Myers first identified 25 such hotspots in 2000, and the list has since grown to 34 hotspots worldwide, which matches the official key.

The number 17 is associated with megadiverse countries, and 43 is not a standard figure.
