Although all the biodiversity hot spots put together cover less than $C$ $\%$ of the earth's land area,the number of species they collectively harbour is extremely high,and the strict protection of these hot spots could reduce the ongoing mass extinctions by almost $D$ $\%$. $A, B, C$ and $D$ in the paragraph refer to:

Species richness is maximum:
