Explanation
The correct answer is (d) None. Let's break down why:
Corbett National Park: This park is located in Uttarakhand and is traversed by the Ramganga River, not the Ganga.
Kaziranga National Park: Situated in Assam, Kaziranga is famous for the Brahmaputra River flowing through it, not the Manas River. The Manas National Park is a separate park in Assam.
Silent Valley National Park: Located in Kerala, Silent Valley is fed by rivers originating from the Nilgiri Hills, primarily the Kunnathipuzha, Meenmutty, and Bhavani rivers, not the Kaveri.
Therefore, all the given pairs are incorrectly matched. This question tests precise factual knowledge of Indian geography and national parks.
