Consider the following pairs : National Park - River flowing through the Park 1. Corbett National Park - Ganga 2. Kaziranga National Park - Manas 3. Silent Valley National Park - Kaveri Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?

A

1 and 2

B

3 only

C

1 and 3

D

None

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

1. Pair 1: Corbett National Park is located in Uttarakhand. The main river flowing through the Park is the Ramganga River, which is a tributary of the Ganga. The Ganga itself does not flow *through* the park. Thus, this pair is not correctly matched. 2. Pair 2: Kaziranga National Park is in Assam, situated primarily on the banks of the Brahmaputra River. Several smaller rivers like the Diphlu and Mora Diphlu flow through the Park. The Manas River is another major tributary of the Brahmaputra but is primarily associated with the Manas National Park, located west of Kaziranga. Thus, this pair is not correctly matched. 3. Pair 3: Silent Valley National Park is in Kerala. The main river flowing through the Park is the Kunthipuzha River, a tributary of the Bharathappuzha River. The Kaveri River originates in Karnataka and flows eastward, it does not flow through Silent Valley. Thus, this pair is not correctly matched. 4. Since none of the pairs are correctly matched, the correct option is (D).
