Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correctly matched pairs are Ranthambhore with Tiger and Periyar with Elephant. Ranthambhore National Park in Rajasthan is one of India's largest and most famous tiger reserves, renowned for its Bengal tiger population. Periyar National Park in Kerala is a prominent sanctuary for elephants and is also designated as a tiger reserve. Conversely, Manas National Park in Assam is famous for species like the Golden Langur, Pygmy Hog, and Rhinoceros, but not for lions. The Asiatic lion is exclusively found in Gir National Park in Gujarat [1]. Furthermore, while Gir is the last home of the Asiatic lion, it is not the primary habitat for the Rhinoceros, which is famously associated with parks like Kaziranga or Manas in Assam. Therefore, only pairs 1 and 2 are correctly matched.
