Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
(A) Elephants — this matches (IV) The Hot Wet forest of Assam and Kerala. Elephants need large, wet forests with plenty of water and fodder; Assam and Kerala hold big herds.
(B) Camel — this matches (III) Thar Desert. Camels are suited to hot, dry deserts: they can go long without water and their broad feet do not sink into sand.
(C) Indian Lion — this matches (II) Gir Forest National park. The Gir forest of Gujarat is the only natural home of the Asiatic lion.
(D) Tiger — this matches (I) Sunderban National park. The mangrove forests of the Sundarbans in West Bengal are famous for the Royal Bengal tiger.
