Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Rann of Kutch, specifically the Little Rann of Kutch in Gujarat, is home to the Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary, established in 1972 to protect the endangered Indian wild ass (khur) [2]. Regarding the other options: Guindy National Park in Chennai is a small urban park not designated as a tiger reserve. Namdapha National Park in Arunachal Pradesh is famous for being the only park to host four big cat species (tiger, leopard, snow leopard, and clouded leopard) but is not specifically meant for lion conservation; lions in India are restricted to the Gir region of Gujarat [2]. Jaldapara is a National Park in West Bengal known for the one-horned rhinoceros, but it is not classified as a Biosphere Reserve [1]. India has 18 designated Biosphere Reserves, such as Khangchendzonga, but Jaldapara is not among them [1].
