Direction () : Read the given passage below and answer the questions. Amid a changing environment, with natural homes of birds getting depleted as natural forests make way for plantations and other such modified terrains, comes the good news of how the great Indian hornbill adapts to such change. A group of researchers from NCBS-TIFR in Bengaluru and Nature Conservation Foundation in Mysuru observed eight hornbill nests, three located in contiguous forests and five located in modified habitats such as coffee plantations. They found that the birds followed similar nesting behaviour but adapted to the changing environment. The team chose to study the great Indian hornbills nesting in the Anamalai hills. For comparison, the researchers located the study in the modified habitat in the Valparai plateau and the contiguous forests in the Anamalai Tiger Reserve and the Vazhachal Reserve forests. The modified habitat included tea, coffee and cardamom plantations, and tribal settlements.
Which of the following is not an apt conclusion on the basis of the information provided?
Some of the nests were discovered during the study with the help of local tribal assistants.
Great hornbills may adapt to habitat modification provided that their key requirements for food and nesting are fulfilled in the habitats like coffee and forest fragments.
Considering that hornbills use same nest over years, protection of these known nest trees and retention of large trees that can be potential nests is absolutely essential.
None of the above.
All of the above.
The correct answer is option 5, i.e. All of the above, i.e. all of the above are not an appropriate set of conclusions that can be derived from the information provided.
