Which one of the following is the habitat for the Great Indian Bustard ?
Explanation
The Great Indian Bustard (Ardeotis nigriceps) is a large bird that primarily inhabits arid and semi-arid ecosystems. It is typically found in dry grasslands and scrublands on the Indian subcontinent. Its largest remaining population is located in the Desert National Park in Rajasthan, which is a classic arid landscape. The species is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List and is protected under Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. It prefers open short-grass plains and avoids areas with high humidity, dense forests, or high-altitude regions, making freshwater, coastal, and Himalayan ecosystems unsuitable habitats for this species.
