\nThe correct option is A, meaning that only pair 1 is correctly matched.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Pair 1: Nokrek Biosphere Reserve is located in the Garo Hills of Meghalaya, India. This pair is correctly matched.
\n– Pair 2: Loktak Lake is a large freshwater lake located in Manipur, India. The Barail Range lies to the south of the Manipur Valley, forming a border region primarily with Assam and Nagaland. While geographically near, stating Loktak Lake is in the “Barail Range” is not accurate; it’s in the Manipur Valley, surrounded by hills which include spurs of various ranges, but not specifically *in* the Barail Range itself.
\n– Pair 3: Namdapha National Park is located in Arunachal Pradesh, in the Changlang district, near the border with Myanmar. It is situated between the Mishmi Hills and the Patkai Range. The Dafla Hills (also known as Nishi Hills) are located much further to the west in Arunachal Pradesh, north of the Brahmaputra plains, inhabited by the Nishi people. Namdapha is not in the Dafla Hills.
\n<\/section>\n
\nGeographical features like mountain ranges, lakes, and national parks have specific locations. Accuracy is key in matching them. Nokrek is intrinsically linked to the Garo Hills. Loktak Lake is a valley feature in Manipur, not a range feature. Namdapha is located in the Eastern Himalayas, geographically distinct from the Dafla Hills area.
