Which areas best conserve biodiversity alongside traditional human livelihoods?

  1. biosphere reserves
  2. botanical gardens
  3. national parks
  4. wildlife sanctuaries
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. biosphere reserves

Biosphere reserves explicitly integrate biodiversity and cultural conservation with sustainable economic and human development. That combined conservation-and-livelihood model distinguishes the intended answer from botanical gardens and the primarily species/habitat-protection categories in the other options. Best retains the original comparative framing without the unsupported superlative most important.
