Correct:
C
Explanation
Bundala Biosphere Reserve is located on the southeast coast of Sri Lanka. UNESCO’s Man and Biosphere (MAB) documentation describes Bundala’s core area as a national park with four brackish lagoons and flat coastal terrain on Sri Lanka’s southeast shoreline [2]. National and tourism sources also place Bundala near Hambantota in Sri Lanka’s Southern Province, about 245–251 km southeast of Colombo, and note its designation as a national park and Ramsar wetland prior to its inclusion in the MAB network. Together these authoritative descriptions confirm that Bundala is in Sri Lanka, so option (3) is correct.
