Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The question asks us to identify the location of the world's only floating national park from the given options. Let's analyze this.

Explanation:

The world's only floating national park is the Keibul Lamjao National Park, which is located in the northeastern Indian state of Manipur. This unique park is situated on Loktak Lake, which is famous for its phumdis (floating biomass) that form the main attraction of the park.

• Tripura: Known for its cultural heritage and palaces, but it does not have the floating national park.
• Jharkhand: Primarily known for its forests and wildlife sanctuaries, but not for any floating national park.
• Manipur: Correct answer. This state is home to Keibul Lamjao, the only floating national park in the world.
• Assam: Known for Kaziranga National Park, famous for rhinoceros but no floating national park.
• Chhattisgarh: Known for its rich heritage and forests but not relevant to the question.

Since Keibul Lamjao National Park is located in Manipur, it stands out as the only floating national park globally. Thus, the correct answer is Manipur.
