b. Algae

c. Bryophytes

d. Fungi

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (d) Fungi

Explanation: Species diversity in a taxonomic group refers to the variety of species within it. Approximately 70% of all species are animals, while fungi and plants (including algae, bryophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms) account for about 22% of global diversity. Angiosperms (flowering plants) exhibit the highest species diversity among plants, followed by algae, mosses (bryophytes), and ferns (pteridophytes). Algae have between 30,000 and 100,000 species, bryophytes account for nearly 23000 species, and gymnosperms have fewer than 1,000 species. Fungi show species diversity similar to angiosperms and exceed the combined diversity of fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. With around 150,000 recognized species and nearly 90% yet to be discovered, the kingdom Fungi represents significant unexplored diversity.
