The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each statement individually and determine their accuracy. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement I **Statement I:** The largely tropical Amazonian rainforest in North America has the greatest biodiversity on Earth. - The Amazon rainforest is indeed known for its immense biodiversity. However, it is important to note that the Amazon rainforest is located in **South America**, not North America. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement II **Statement II:** Amazon forest is home to more vertebrates than invertebrates. - When we consider the biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest, it is home to a vast number of species. While there are numerous vertebrate species, the number of invertebrate species is significantly higher. For instance, the Amazon rainforest hosts approximately **125,000 species of invertebrates** compared to a lower number of vertebrate species (around 40,000 species of plants, 3,000 species of fishes, 1,300 species of birds, 427 species of mammals, 427 species of amphibians, and 378 species of reptiles). Thus, this statement is also **incorrect**. ### Conclusion Both statements are incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that both Statement I and Statement II are wrong. ### Final Answer: Both statements are incorrect. ---
