Which one of the following is not a World Heritage Site as identified by UNESCO ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Based on UNESCO's World Heritage List, Kaziranga National Park (Assam), Keoladeo National Park (Rajasthan), and Manas Wildlife Sanctuary (Assam) are all designated World Heritage Sites [1][t1]. Kaziranga and Manas were inscribed for their unique biodiversity and role as habitats for endangered species like the one-horned rhinoceros [t5]. Keoladeo is recognized as a significant bird sanctuary and wetland [1][t1]. While Bandipur National Park is a vital part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and the Western Ghats—the latter being a World Heritage Site—Bandipur itself is not individually listed as a standalone World Heritage Site [c2][c3]. The Western Ghats was inscribed as a serial property in 2012, but Bandipur is primarily recognized as a National Park and Tiger Reserve under Indian law rather than an independent UNESCO World Heritage entity [c2][c3]. Therefore, Bandipur is the correct answer as it is not identified as a specific site on the list.
