It is a renowned tiger reserve situated at the junction of the Vindhya and Aravali hill ranges [t4]. In contrast, the other pairs are correctly matched: Kanha National Park is located in Madhya Pradesh [c1][t1][t5], Sultanpur National Park is situated in Haryana [t3], and Bandipur National Park is located in the Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka [t1][t3][t4]. Gujarat is home to other famous parks such as Gir National Park, known for Asiatic lions, and the Marine National Park in the Gulf of Kachchh [c1][t1][t3]. Therefore, option 3 is the only incorrect association among the given choices.
