Consider the two statements:
I: | Species diversity seen in tropical areas is much lower than that seen in temperate areas. |
II: | Temperate areas, unlike tropical areas are less seasonal, more constant and promote niche specialization. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I.
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I.
3. I is correct but II is incorrect.
4. Both I and II are incorrect.
