Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

All four sites — Champaner‑Pavagadh Archaeological Park, Chhatrapati Shivaji Railway Station (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, formerly Victoria Terminus), Mamallapuram (Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram), and the Sun Temple at Konark — are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Mumbai terminus (Victoria Terminus / Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus) is explicitly named among notable heritage railway/monumental sites in the provided source [1]. UNESCO World Heritage designation identifies sites of outstanding universal value under the Convention, the category used to list and protect these monuments [2]. Historically, Mamallapuram and Konark were inscribed earlier (1984) while Champaner‑Pavagadh and the Mumbai terminus were inscribed later (2004), so option 4 is correct.
