Best answer

Answer: 3. Biodiversity conservation

Key idea: removing threatened species from their natural habitat and caring for them in a special setting is ex-situ conservation (zoos, botanical gardens, seed banks).

Ex-situ conservation is not listed among the options. Sustainable development and the semi-conservative method are unrelated, and in-situ means protection in the natural habitat. The official key accepts "Biodiversity conservation", the general term under which ex-situ conservation falls.
