Whittaker's idea was that the total species diversity in a landscape (gamma diversity) is determined by two different things, the mean species diversity in sites or habitats at a more local scale (alpha diversity) and the differentiation among those habitats (beta diversity).
Gamma diversity = landscape diversity or diversity of habitats within a landscape or region.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
