B
The Western Ghats is one of the four globally recognized biodiversity hot spots in India due to its high level of species richness and endemism
A hot spot must contain a large number of species found nowhere else on Earth and be under significant threat from human activity
While the Sunderbans and Eastern Ghats are ecologically important, they do not meet the strict international criteria to be labeled as a hot spot
