Explanation
The North to South arrangement of the National Parks is determined by their latitudinal positions. Corbett National Park is located in Uttarakhand (approx. 29°N), making it the northernmost [2]. Madhav National Park is situated in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh (approx. 25°N). Moving further south, Indravati National Park is located in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh (approx. 19°N). Finally, Nagarhole National Park (also known as Rajiv Gandhi National Park) is located in the Coorg/Mysore districts of Karnataka (approx. 12°N), placing it the furthest south among the options [3]. Therefore, the correct sequence from North to South is Corbett (3), Madhav (4), Indravati (1), and Nagarhole (2), which corresponds to the sequence 3, 4, 1, 2.
