The variety and variability of living organisms (both plants and animals) are known as biodiversity. The variation measured by biodiversity is at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level. Gene-based diversity is known as genetic diversity. It is a way for populations to adapt to changing environments. A species spread over a large tract with varied environmental conditions will have higher genetic diversity.
So, the correct answer is 'Higher genetic diversity'.
