Answer 1

The word natural habitat refers to the native shelter of any organism. There are various groups and communities which take care of rare plants and animals. The botanical gardens collect, cultivate, preserve and display a wide variety of plants and take good care of rare species. Rare species are the one which is at the verge of extinction.

Complete answer: A garden that is dedicated to the collection, cultivation, preservation and display of a wide range of plants which are labelled with their botanical names is called a botanical garden. Universities or other scientific research organizations run these botanical gardens. Maintaining documented collections of living plants for the purposes of scientific research, conservation, display, and education is the principle role of botanical gardens. Similar to botanical gardens is the green house where the rare species are taken care of even outside its natural habitat. A structure with walls and roof made of transparent material, such as glass, in which plants are grown is called a greenhouse. Green house can also be called a glass house or hot house if sufficient heat is provided which is required by the plants for its growth and development.
So, option A: botanical garden and greenhouse is the correct answer as the rare species can be taken care of in a botanical garden or greenhouse outside its natural habitat.
