The table below gives the populations (in thousands) of ten species (A-J) in four areas (a-d) consisting of the number of habitats given within brackets against each. Study the table and answer the question which follows:

Area and Number of Habitats	Species, and their populations (in  thousands] in the areas
a (11)	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J
b (11)	2.3	1.2	0.52	6.0	-	3.1	1.1	9.0	-	10.
c (11)	10.2	-	0.62	-	1.5	3.0	-	8.2	1.1	11.2
d (13)	11.3	0.9	0.48	2.4	1.4	4.2	0.8	8.4	2.2	4.1
d(12)	3.2	10.2	11.1	4.8	0.4	3.3	0.8	7.3	11.3	2.1

Which area out of \[a\] to \[d\] shows maximum species diversity?                                 

A)  d                                

B)  a                     

C)  b                                

D)  c
