The correct answer is option 1 - 1 only.

Option 1 states that Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary is recently declared as a Ramsar Site, which is correct. Ramsar Sites are wetlands of international importance, recognized for the conservation and sustainable use of their biodiversity. Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary is one of these recognized sites.

Option 2 states that the sanctuary is located in Uttar Pradesh, which is incorrect. Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary is actually located in the state of Gujarat, in western India. It is situated in the Jamnagar district, near the Gulf of Kutch.

In summary, the correct option is 1 only, as Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary is indeed declared a Ramsar Site, but it is not located in Uttar Pradesh.
