CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Nanda Devi National Park was inscribed in 1988 and the Valley of Flowers was added as an extension in 2005.
The two are listed together as a single World Heritage property in Uttarakhand.
Kaziranga, Manas, Keoladeo, the Sundarbans and the Western Ghats are India's other natural World Heritage properties.

Worth noting

World Heritage listing is separate from national park status: many national parks are not listed, and listing by itself adds no protection under Indian law.
