Correct Answer:

The Western Ghats

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1)-The Western Ghats

According to the given passage, the region that has a greater amphibian species diversity is "The Western Ghats."

At the species level, the Western Ghats have a greater amphibian species diversity compared to the Eastern Ghats. The Western Ghats, a mountain range along the western coast of India, is known for its rich biodiversity and is considered one of the biodiversity hotspots in the world. It harbors a wide variety of amphibian species, making it an important region for amphibian conservation and research.

On the other hand, the Eastern Ghats, another mountain range located in eastern India, may have a lower amphibian species diversity compared to the Western Ghats.
