Matching National Parks with Important Wildlife
This question asks us to correctly match the National Parks listed in List I with the important wildlife species they are known for, listed in List II.
Let's analyze each pairing based on common knowledge about India's National Parks:
- Gir National Park: Located in Gujarat, this park is famous worldwide as the only home for the Asiatic Lion (also known as the Indian Lion). Therefore, Gir matches with Indian Lion.
- Ranthambore: Situated in Rajasthan, Ranthambore National Park is one of the best places in India to see Tigers in their natural habitat. Thus, Ranthambore matches with Tiger.
- Kaziranga: Located in Assam, Kaziranga National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, primarily known for conserving the world's largest population of the Greater One-horned Rhino. So, Kaziranga matches with One-horned Rhino.
- Bandipur: Part of the larger Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve in Karnataka, Bandipur National Park has a significant population of Indian Elephants. Hence, Bandipur matches with Elephant.
- Kanchenjunga Park (Khangchendzonga National Park): Located in Sikkim, this is a high-altitude park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is home to various high-altitude species, including the Musk Deer. Thus, Kanchenjunga park matches with Musk deer.
Based on this analysis, the correct pairings are:
| National Park (List I) | Important Wildlife (List II) | Key Animal |
|---|---|---|
| (a) Gir National Park | (ii) Indian Lion | Asiatic Lion |
| (b) Ranthambore | (iii) Tiger | Royal Bengal Tiger |
| (c) Kaziranga | (iv) One-horned Rhino | Great Indian Rhinoceros |
| (d) Bandipur | (i) Elephant | Indian Elephant |
| (e) Kanchenjunga park | (v) Musk deer | Musk Deer |
Comparing these matches with the given options, we find the correct combination.
Therefore, the matches are (a) - (ii), (b) - (iii), (c) - (iv), (d) - (i), and (e) - (v).
