A recent study was carried out by a group of environmentalists to analyze biodiversity levels across different habitats, with data shown in the table below. Based on the information in the table, which of the following statements best describes habitat 3?* Genetic Diversity Species Diversity Habitat Diversity Habitat 1 LOW LOW Medium Habitat 2 Medium High Medium Habitat 3 High Low LOW Habitat 4 Medium Low High O Habitat 3 has likely experienced a bottleneck, as indicated by its low habitat diversity. Habitat 3 likely has faster rates of evolution, as indicated by the high levels of genetic diversity. Habitat 3 likely has species with small populations, as ihdicated by its low species diversity. Habitat 3 likely has species with large habitat ranges, as indicated by its low habitat diversity.
