Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Based on the UNESCO World Heritage list, Keoladeo National Park (Rajasthan), Sundarbans National Park (West Bengal), and Kaziranga National Park (Assam) are all designated as Natural World Heritage Sites [2]. Keoladeo was recognized for its significance as a major wintering area for aquatic birds [2]. Sundarbans is noted for its vast mangrove forests and tiger population [1]. Kaziranga is celebrated for its successful conservation of the one-horned rhinoceros [1]. While Ranthambore National Park is a famous tiger reserve in Rajasthan, it is not individually listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site [2]. Other natural sites in India include Manas Wildlife Sanctuary, Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers National Parks, and the Great Himalayan National Park [1]. Therefore, only statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.
