Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct sequence from south to north is Periyar, Kanha, Sariska, and Dachigam. Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the southernmost state of Kerala (Idukki district) at approximately 9°N latitude [4]. Moving north, Kanha National Park is situated in Madhya Pradesh (Mandla/Balaghat districts) at roughly 22°N latitude [3]. Further north is the Sariska Tiger Reserve in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, located at approximately 27°N latitude [5]. Finally, the northernmost sanctuary is Dachigam National Park, located near Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir at approximately 34°N latitude [1]. This geographical distribution follows the latitudinal gradient of India from the southern tip towards the Himalayan region in the north.
