The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the correct terms for X, Y, and Z based on the given sentence. The sentence states that "X is the term popularized by Y, a Z to describe combined diversity at all levels of biological organization." ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify X**: We need to find a term that describes "combined diversity at all levels of biological organization." The term that fits this definition is **biodiversity**. Biodiversity encompasses the variety of life forms and their interactions within ecosystems. 2. **Identify Y**: Next, we need to determine who popularized the term biodiversity. The correct individual associated with popularizing this term is **Edward Wilson**, who is known for his work in ecology and sociobiology. 3. **Identify Z**: Finally, we need to classify Edward Wilson. He is recognized as a **sociobiologist**, which is a branch of biology that studies the social behavior of organisms, including humans, in an evolutionary context. 4. **Construct the Complete Sentence**: Now, we can put it all together: - X = Biodiversity - Y = Edward Wilson - Z = Sociobiologist Therefore, the complete sentence reads: "Biodiversity is the term popularized by Edward Wilson, a sociobiologist, to describe combined diversity at all levels of biological organization." 5. **Select the Correct Option**: Among the given options, the only one that matches our findings is: - (b) X - Biodiversity, Y - Edward Wilson, Z - Sociobiologist ### Final Answer: (b) X - Biodiversity, Y - Edward Wilson, Z - Sociobiologist ---
