Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Evil Quartet refers to the causes of biodiversity loss: habitat loss, overexploitation, alien species invasion, and co-extinctions. The closest match here is "Causes of biodiversity losses" (III).
Ex-situ conservation refers to conservation methods outside the natural habitat, such as cryopreservation (I).
\textit{Lantana camara} is an invasive alien species (II).
The Dodo is an extinct species (IV).
