\nLet’s match the conservation types with the correct places:
\nA. National Park: Dudhwa National Park is located in Uttar Pradesh.
\nB. Sanctuary: Chilika Lake area includes the Nalabana Bird Sanctuary in Odisha.
\nC. Biosphere Reserve: Nokrek National Park is part of the Nokrek Biosphere Reserve in Meghalaya.
\nD. Tiger Reserve: Dudhwa National Park is also a designated Tiger Reserve. Bhitarkanika is primarily known as a National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary, famous for its mangrove ecosystem and saltwater crocodiles, and is not a major Tiger Reserve.<\/p>\nMapping based on common or primary classifications:
\nNational Park – Dudhwa (1)
\nSanctuary – Chilika (3)
\nBiosphere Reserve – Nokrek (4)
\nTiger Reserve – Dudhwa (1)<\/p>\n
Let’s examine the options given the list format (A, B, C, D matched with 1, 2, 3, 4):
\nOption A: A-2 (Bhitarkanika), B-3 (Chilika), C-4 (Nokrek), D-1 (Dudhwa).
\nOption B: A-1 (Dudhwa), B-4 (Nokrek), C-3 (Chilika), D-2 (Bhitarkanika).
\nOption C: A-2 (Bhitarkanika), B-4 (Nokrek), C-3 (Chilika), D-1 (Dudhwa).
\nOption D: A-1 (Dudhwa), B-3 (Chilika), C-4 (Nokrek), D-2 (Bhitarkanika).<\/p>\n
Based on the common designations:
\nA. National Park: Dudhwa (1)
\nB. Sanctuary: Chilika (3)
\nC. Biosphere Reserve: Nokrek (4)
\nD. Tiger Reserve: Dudhwa (1)<\/p>\n
Let’s re-evaluate the options against these probable matches.
\nOption D suggests:
\nA. National Park – Dudhwa (1) – Correct
\nB. Sanctuary – Chilika (3) – Correct (Nalabana Bird Sanctuary within Chilika)
\nC. Biosphere Reserve – Nokrek (4) – Correct (Nokrek Biosphere Reserve)
\nD. Tiger Reserve – Bhitarkanika (2). This is incorrect. Bhitarkanika is a National Park\/Sanctuary, not a Tiger Reserve.<\/p>\n
Let’s re-examine Option A:
\nA. National Park – Bhitarkanika (2) – Correct (Bhitarkanika is a National Park)
\nB. Sanctuary – Chilika (3) – Correct (Nalabana Bird Sanctuary within Chilika)
\nC. Biosphere Reserve – Nokrek (4) – Correct (Nokrek Biosphere Reserve)
\nD. Tiger Reserve – Dudhwa (1) – Correct (Dudhwa is a Tiger Reserve)<\/p>\n
Option A provides the correct mapping for all four entries. There was a mix-up in my initial assessment of which option matched which set of numbers.
