Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct North to South order of the tiger reserves is Corbett, Sariska, Simlipal, and Periyar. Corbett Tiger Reserve is located in Uttarakhand, the northernmost state among the options [4]. Sariska Tiger Reserve is situated in Rajasthan, which lies south of Uttarakhand but north of central and eastern India [4]. Simlipal Tiger Reserve is located in the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha, placing it further south than Rajasthan [3]. Finally, Periyar Tiger Reserve is located in Kerala, which is in the southern part of the Indian peninsula [5]. Geographically, Corbett is at approximately 29N, Sariska at 27N, Simlipal at 21N, and Periyar at 9N. This latitudinal progression confirms that Option 3 correctly represents the sequence from North to South.
