Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A), (B) and (D) Only

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (B) and (D) Only

(A) "Amazon Basin is famous for its rainforests."

This sentence is incorrect because it is missing the definite article "the" before "Amazon Basin" to refer to a specific geographical area.

(B) "Netherlands is known for its intricate canals."

Here, "Netherlands" is a proper noun referring to a specific country, so it requires the definite article "the" before it to refer to a specific entity. Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The Netherlands is known for its intricate canals."

(D) "When was the last time that you went to Himalayas?"

In this sentence, "Himalayas" refers to a specific mountain range, so it requires the definite article "the" before it to indicate a particular set of mountains. Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "When was the last time that you went to the Himalayas?"
