Suspend in animals -
In animals, the organism, if unable to migrate, might avoid the stress by escaping in time.
- wherein
The familiar case of bears going into hibernation during winter is an example of escape in time. Some snails and fish go into aestivation to avoid summer–related problems-heat and desiccation. Under unfavourable conditions, many zooplankton species in lakes and ponds are known to enter diapause, a stage of suspended development.
As discussed in
Hot Spots -
Hot Spots refer to the area with high density of diversity or mega diversity which are threatened at present.” There are around 16 hot spots, out of which two are located in India by the name Western Ghats and North-East Himalayas. These hot spots are determined on the basis of four factors

Option 3)
(3) - expanding, (4) - commensalism, (5) biodiversity park
This solution is incorrect
Option 4)
(1)- hibernation, (2) - escape, (3) expanding, (5) hot spot
