The correct answer is A) Rollapadu.

Rollapadu Wildlife Sanctuary is a wildlife sanctuary in the Nalgonda district of Telangana, India. It is located about 100 kilometers from Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana. The sanctuary was established in 1980 and covers an area of 1,200 square kilometers.

The sanctuary is home to a variety of wildlife, including tigers, leopards, sloth bears, wild boars, and deer. It is also home to a number of birds, including the Jerdon’s Courser, a rare and endemic bird.

The Jerdon’s Courser is a small, brown bird with a long tail. It is found in dry grasslands and scrub forests in India and Pakistan. The bird is named after Thomas C. Jerdon, an English surgeon and naturalist who first described the species in 1845.

The Jerdon’s Courser is a shy and elusive bird. It is difficult to spot, as it spends most of its time on the ground. The bird feeds on insects and seeds.

The Jerdon’s Courser is a threatened species. Its population has declined due to habitat loss and hunting. The bird is protected by law in India and Pakistan.

The Rollapadu Wildlife Sanctuary is an important habitat for the Jerdon’s Courser. The sanctuary provides the bird with a safe place to live and breed. The sanctuary also helps to protect the bird from hunting.

The Jerdon’s Courser is a beautiful and unique bird. It is a shame that the bird is threatened. We must do everything we can to protect the Jerdon’s Courser and its habitat.

The other options are incorrect because they are not wildlife sanctuaries in Telangana.
