Correct:
D
Explanation
Authoritative book lists of India’s biosphere reserves explicitly include Great Nicobar, Sundarban and Nanda Devi among the designated 18 reserves [1]. The same book list uses the Great Rann of Kutch / Kachchh entry rather than a name phrased as “Gulf of Kachchh,” so the exact wording in the options does not match the textbook enumeration of reserves [1]. Web compilations do list a Kachchh/Great Rann of Kutch biosphere reserve (sometimes rendered with variant names), indicating a naming/alias issue rather than a distinct ‘Gulf of Kachchh’ entry in the cited book source [2]. Given the discrepancy in nomenclature, option 4 (‘Gulf of Kachchh’) does not align with the biosphere reserve names as presented in the primary book list [2].
