Answer:
Correct Answer: C

An ecosystem with plants and animals of unusual scientific and natural interest is known as a biosphere reserve. UNESCO has given this label for protecting these sites. These areas are a new approach to the conservation of biodiversity. The main motive is to promote the management, research, and education in conservation of education. It also includes the ‘sustainable use of natural resources’.
The core zone is basically an important area where the conservation of wildlife and natural resources is strictly protected by the forest department.
Buffer zone is the area that surrounds or adjoins the core areas where nature is conserved alongside compatible human uses of the land or water.
Manipulation zone is the outermost area of the biosphere reserve. Several human activities like settlements, cropping, recreation, and forestry are carried out in such areas without disturbing the environment. So, the correct answer is ‘Biosphere reserve’.
