Answer to Question 1

Places on Earth that are both biologically rich and deeply threatened by human activities are known as biodiversity hotspots, which scientists believe deserve immediate attention for study and conservation.
Most of these hotspots are in tropical and subtropical areas. The highest biodiversity in the world is found in the tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forest biome. The tropical rainforest climate is hot, humid, and rainy year- round, with little seasonal variation in temperature or precipitation.

Answer to Question 2

D
