1798.	Read the passage and answer the questions given below: Conservation of plant biodiversity for sustainable growth and development has been the major concern of all the countries after the Convention of Biological Diversity held in 1992, which provided sovereign rights of the states over their national resources. Being the major staple crop for more than half of the world population, conservation and protection of vast generic of rice has got the top priority in India and also other rice growing countries. Majority of these generic resources were conserved by the local communities throughout the length and breadth of the country and the Government of India rightly recognised them as custodians of these generic resources. The issue of protecting of plant varieties came into focus after the birth of World Trade Organisation (WTO) in 1995. Accordingly, the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmer’s Act was enacted in 2001 by the Government of India, while recognising the services rendered by Indian farmers and exhaustive privileges and provisions were included in the Act as Farmer’s Rights which no other country in the world recognised. Rice with its rich generic repositories and wide adaptability is the only crop that can offer solutions to the daunting goal of curbing hunger. Any threat to the biodiversity in rice is a direct threat to the survival of mankind. Choose the correct answer from the options given below: 1. The Convention of Biological Diversity recognized. (a) the absolute claim of the countries on their national resources. (b) the nominal rights of the states over their national resources. (c) the reservation of rights of more than one country on their national resources. (d) the sharing of national resources of participating countries.2. India was the first country to acknowledge (a) the importance of the Convention of Biological Diversity. (b) the need for growing more rice for the masses. (c) the contributions made by the farmers and their rights. (d) the inhuman treatment meted out to rice growing nations. 3. Conservation and protection of different varieties of rice is essential as (a) the scientific laboratories find new areas of research which it can give.
