In ecology, one of the means of measuring diversity is Simpson's Diversity Index. This index is generally used to count the biodiversity of a habitat. The index considers the number of the present species, and at the same time each species' abundance.
Simpson's index denoted by D determines the possibility that two characters selected abruptly from a sample will fit to a similar species or some classification other than species. When the value of D is 0, it signifies infinite diversity, while when the value is 1 it denotes no diversity. Thus, the bigger the value the lower will be the diversity.
"A. cutting down most of the trees in a forest to make furniture" is the correct answer because some trees play a vital role in processing the carbon in the air.
<h3><u><em>Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. Taking one atom of 14C, this will either have decayed after 5,730 years, or it will not. But if this experiment is repeated again and again, it will be seen that the atom decays within the half life 50% of the time.</em></u></h3>
