The Valley of Flowers National Park is the correct option as it is the only park mentioned that lies completely in the temperate alpine zone. This park is located in the state of Uttarakhand in India. In contrast, Manas National Park, located in Assam, India, is a wildlife sanctuary and it does not lie in the temperate alpine zone. It falls in a subtropical zone. Namdapha National Park, the third-largest national park in India located in Arunachal Pradesh, is in a tropical zone, not a temperate alpine zone. Similarly, Neora Valley National Park, located in West Bengal, India, is also in a subtropical zone. All these parks offer different biodiversity due to their location in different climatic zones.
