Match List-I (Biosphere Reserves) with List-II (States) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists

(Biosphere Reserves) | (States)
A. Similipal | 1. Sikkim
B. Dehong | 2. Uttaranchal Deband
C. Nokrek | 3. Arunachal Pradesh
D. Kanchenjunga | 4. Orissa
| 5 . Meghalaya

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 (A-4, B-3, C-5, D-1). This matching is based on the geographical locations of India's established Biosphere Reserves under the Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme.

  • A. Similipal (4 - Orissa): Located in the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha (formerly Orissa), it is famous for its tiger reserve and elephant population.
  • B. Dehong-Deband (3 - Arunachal Pradesh): This reserve is situated in the Upper Siang and Dibang Valley of Arunachal Pradesh, protecting Eastern Himalayan biodiversity.
  • C. Nokrek (5 - Meghalaya): Located in the West Garo Hills, it is a critical habitat for the Red Panda and indigenous citrus species.
  • D. Kanchenjunga (1 - Sikkim): Named after the world's third-highest peak, this reserve is a UNESCO World Heritage site situated entirely within Sikkim.

Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect because they misplace these key landmarks; for instance, Similipal is never in Sikkim (Option 1/3) and Nokrek is not in Uttaranchal (Option 2).
