Ex-situ conservation is the preservation of components of biological diversity outside their natural habitats. This involves conservation of genetic resources, as well as wild and cultivated species, and draws on a diverse body of techniques and facilities.
Examples-
Seed bank
Zoos (These may involve captive breeding programmes.)
Aquaria (Research, public information and education)
Plant Collections (breeding programmes and seed storage)
All other options are examples of in-situ conservation.
So, the correct answer is 'Seed bank'
