How can seed banks and botanical gardens help in conservation?

Correct answer: They help preserve plant species

The direct answer is option A: seed banks and botanical gardens help preserve plant species. A seed bank stores seeds under suitable conditions so that their ability to grow can remain available for the future. A botanical garden grows and maintains many plant species, including rare ones, for protection, study and education. These methods conserve plant diversity outside or alongside natural habitats and can support later research or restoration. Option A is correct because both institutions protect plant genetic material or living plants. Option B is wrong because their purpose is preservation, not destruction. Option C is wrong because they are not places meant only for hunting. Option D is wrong because starting forest fires destroys vegetation and habitats. Conservation may use both natural protection and such organised storage or cultivation. Memory cue: seed bank saves seeds; botanical garden saves living plants.
