本题详细解析:
Explanation: Diversity indices are used to measure the diversity of organisms in an area (Choice A). A t-test (Choice B) is used to see if there is a significant difference between the means of two groups. Chi-square analysis (Choice C) can be used to check for the association of two species after collecting data on the presence or absence of either or both in defined areas. More generally, Chi-square analysis is used to determine if there is a significant difference between observed and expected. Frequency found in quadrats (Choice D) records how frequently one or more species are found in quadrats and is not a statistical test.
