Which of the following falls OUTSIDE the definition of "biological resources" in section 2(c) of the Biological Diversity Act, 2002, as amended in 2023?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 2(c) covers plants, animals, micro-organisms, parts of their genetic material and derivatives, but expressly excludes "value added products" (and human genetic material). Section 2(p) describes value added products as products containing plant or animal portions or extracts "in unrecognizable and physically inseparable form". Derivatives are specifically included after 2023, and potential use is enough, so those options are within the definition.
