  3. C
    cryopreservation
  4. D
    national parks.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Ex-situ conservation involves the preservation of components of biological diversity outside their natural habitats. Cryopreservation (storing seeds, gametes, or embryos at ultra-low temperatures) is a key ex-situ technique. Wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, and biosphere reserves are all examples of in-situ conservation.
