The correct option is B, as only two properties from the list were included in 2023.

In 2023, India successfully inscribed two properties on the UNESCO World Heritage List: Shantiniketan and the Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas (including temples at Belur, Halebid, and Somanathapura). Rani-ki-Vav in Patan, Gujarat, was inscribed in 2014. The Mahabodhi Temple Complex at Bodhgaya, Bihar, was inscribed in 2002.

As of 2023, India has a total of 42 UNESCO World Heritage sites, consisting of 34 cultural sites, 7 natural sites, and 1 mixed site. Shantiniketan became the 41st site and the Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas became the 42nd site.
