Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Based on the provided records, Bandipur, Manas, and Sunderbans are officially designated Tiger Reserves in India. Bandipur Tiger Reserve is located in Karnataka and is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve [4]. Manas is identified as both a National Park and a Tiger Reserve situated in Assam [5]. Sunderbans, located in West Bengal, is a prominent Tiger Reserve known for its mangrove ecosystem and Royal Bengal Tigers [5]. In contrast, Bhitarkanika is described as a National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary in Odisha, primarily recognized for its salt-tolerant mangrove species and Giant Salt Water Crocodiles, but it is not listed as a Tiger Reserve [5]. Therefore, only Bandipur, Manas, and Sunderbans (1, 3, and 4) fall under the Tiger Reserve category.
