Observe the given diagram representing global biodiversity and answer the question.

Out of every 10 animals on earth, 7 are ____.

Insects

The correct answer is Option (4) → Insects

More than 70 per cent of all the species recorded are animals, while plants (including algae, fungi, bryophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms) comprise no more than 22 per cent of the total. Among animals, insects are the most species-rich taxonomic group, making up more than 70 per cent of the total. That means, out of every 10 animals on this planet, 7 are insects.
