  • (A) The Evil Quartet: This is a sobriquet used to describe the four major causes of biodiversity losses .
  • (B) Ex-situ: This refers to off-site conservation; modern methods include cryopreservation, where gametes of threatened species are preserved in viable and fertile conditions for long periods .
  • (C) Lantana camara: This is identified as an invasive weed species and is a classic example of alien species invasion that threatens indigenous species .
  • (D) Dodo: The Dodo (from Mauritius) is listed as an example of a species that has recently undergone extinction . Mapping these results in the sequence (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), and (D)-(IV), which corresponds to Option 1.
