Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

Genetic diversity refers to the variation of genes within a species, i.e., the total genetic information across all individuals.

Phenotypic diversity refers to observable traits (not the same as genetic diversity).

Species diversity = variety of life-forms.

Ecosystem diversity = variety of communities + abiotic components.
