Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Concept

A wildlife protected area conserves species by safeguarding their natural habitat, breeding populations, and the ecosystem on which they depend.

Species–park questions are solved by matching the animal with the protected area that is a major, established habitat for that species, rather than with any famous national park.

Application

The Indian rhinoceros, also called the greater one-horned rhinoceros, has a major protected population in Kaziranga National Park in Assam. Therefore, Kaziranga National Park is the best-supported choice among the given parks.

Contrast

  • Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand is especially associated with tiger conservation and the Himalayan foothill ecosystem.

  • Bandipur National Park in Karnataka belongs to the Nilgiri landscape and is widely associated with elephants and tigers.

  • Gir National Park in Gujarat is the principal natural habitat of the Asiatic lion.

Cross-check

Kaziranga's recognized conservation identity is inseparable from the greater one-horned rhinoceros, confirming the result: Kaziranga National Park.
