The correct option is C Mostly located in the polar regions
Biodiversity hotspots are areas where the species diversity is high and endemic.
Not much of species are present at the polar ice caps. Hence, they cannot be counted in the region of hotspots.
Hotspots are mainly in the tropics due to high species diversity.
So, the correct option is 'Mostly located in the polar regions'.
