The correct answer is option 1: 1 only.

A palm civet is found in India in its natural habitat. A palm civet is a small carnivorous mammal that is found in the forests of India. It has a slender body, a long tail, and a pointed snout. Palm civets are known for their ability to climb trees and their preference for a diet of fruits and small animals. They are primarily nocturnal creatures and are often found in the dense vegetation of the forest floor.

On the other hand, pumas and cheetahs are not found in India in their natural habitat. Pumas, also known as mountain lions, are found in North and South America, while cheetahs are found in Africa. Both of these species have different habitat preferences and are not native to India.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: 1 only, as only the palm civet is found in India in its natural habitat.
