Question

Match Column I and Column I 

Column I		Column II
1	Narrowly utilitarian argument	p	Conserving biodiversity for major ecosystem services
2	Broadly utilitarian argument	q	Every species has an intrinsic value and moral duty to pass our biological legacy in good order to future generation.
3	Ethical argument	r	Receiving benefits like food, medicine & industrial products.

• A. 1 - (p) 2 - (q) 3 - (r)
• B. 1 - (q) 2 - (r) 3 - (p)
• C. 1-(r) 2-(p) 3-(q)
• D. 1 - (r) 2 - (q) 3 - (p)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the given matching question, we need to understand the meaning of the terms provided in Column I and match them with the appropriate descriptions in Column II.

1. Narrowly utilitarian argument: This argument emphasizes the specific, tangible benefits that humans derive from biodiversity, such as food, medicine, and industrial products. Therefore, the correct match is with r "Receiving benefits like food, medicine & industrial products."
2. Broadly utilitarian argument: This argument includes the broader benefits of biodiversity that support life, such as ecosystem services like pollination, water purification, and climate regulation. This can be matched with p "Conserving biodiversity for major ecosystem services."
3. Ethical argument: This argument is centered on the intrinsic value of all species and the moral responsibility we have to preserve them for future generations. Hence, this aligns with q "Every species has an intrinsic value and moral duty to pass our biological legacy in good order to future generation."

Based on the explanation above, the correct matching of the columns is: 1-(r), 2-(p), 3-(q).

The right choice among the options provided is 1-(r) 2-(p) 3-(q).
