chamomile,upsc2020Which of the following National Parks are alsodesignated as Marine Protected Areas?1. Campbell Bay2. Bhitarkanika3. Sundarbans4. Rani Jhansi5. Saddle PeakSelect the correct answer using the code givenbelow.(a) 1, 2 and 5 only(b) 1, 3 and 4 only(c) 2, 3, 4 and 5 only(d) 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 .
1 and 4 are MPAs. so the answer should be either b or d.
Saddle peak is the highest peak of A&N so it cannot possibly be a MPA.
Therefore I'd go with (b) as answer

I think its B.
Statement 2 is probably wrong. Ploughing helps in making the soil porous. Plus 1 and 2 are contradictory. So i think statement 2 is wrong

Which of the following National Parks are alsodesignated as Marine Protected Areas?1. Campbell Bay2. Bhitarkanika3. Sundarbans4. Rani Jhansi5. Saddle PeakSelect the correct answer using the code givenbelow.(a) 1, 2 and 5 only(b) 1, 3 and 4 only(c) 2, 3, 4 and 5 only(d) 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 .
D? Bhitarkanika and Sunderbans have to be MPA's given the biodiversity and wetlands. Leaves C and D. Going with D because Campbell Bay has bay in it. Has to be protected.
