Verified by Toppr

I. Preserving habitats is the protection of natural habitats of species.
II. Introducing non-native species can be harmful as they compete with the native species for resources.
III. Protecting populations is not the protection of biodiversity. Instead, it includes the protection of resources essential for the survival of the population.
Hence, biodiversity is being conserved by preserving habitats. So, the correct answer is 'I only'.
