MHT CET · BIOLOGY · STD 12 - 15. Biodiversity, Conservation and Environmental Issues
Given below are two statements.
Statement I: Rauwolfia vomitoria found in Himalayan ranges shows variation in potency and concentration of active component reserpine.
Statement II: Ecosystem diversity is observed in regions of Rann of Kutch.
In the light of above statement, choose the correct option.
- A Both statement I and statement II are correct.
- B Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.
- C Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.
- D Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.
