Which one of the following is not used for ex situ plant conservation?

  • A.Shifting cultivation
  • B.Botanical gardens
  • C.Field gene banks
  • D.Seed banks

Answer: A

Shifting cultivation is not a method of ex situ conservation - it is a farming practice, and one that destroys habitat.

Ex situ conservation keeps species outside their natural home: botanical gardens, zoos, seed banks, field gene banks and cryopreservation. In situ conservation protects them where they live, in parks and sanctuaries.
