C. Both I & II are the correct statements about biodiversity hotspot that It is an area with unusual concentration of species, many of which are endemic and It is marked by serious threat to its biodiversity by humans.
Definition: A biogeographic area with high levels of biodiversity that is threatened by habitation is referred to as a biodiversity hotspot.
Parameters:
- A region must meet two severe requirements in order to be listed as a biodiversity hotspot on Myers' hotspot map from 2000: it must have lost at least 70% of its primary vegetation and have at least 1,500 indigenous vascular plant species (more than 0.5 percent of the world's total).
- 36 zones worldwide meet this criterion.
- Nearly 60% of the world's plant, bird, mammal, reptile, and amphibian species are found in these places, with a significant portion of those species being endemics.
