Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 (2-3-4-1). To determine the south-to-north sequence, we must analyze the latitudinal positions of these protected areas across the Indian subcontinent.

  • Bhadra (2): Located in the Chikkamagaluru district of Karnataka (approx. 13°N), it is the southernmost among the four.
  • Simlipal (3): Situated in the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha (approx. 21°N), it lies north of Bhadra but south of the central highlands.
  • Pachmarhi (4): Located in the Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh (approx. 22°N), it sits slightly north of Simlipal within the Satpura Range.
  • Shikari Devi (1): Located in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh (approx. 31°N), it is the northernmost sanctuary in this list, situated in the Himalayas.

Therefore, the correct geographic progression from the southern peninsula towards the northern mountains is Bhadra → Simlipal → Pachmarhi → Shikari Devi, making 2-3-4-1 the accurate sequence.
