• Question 1 of 5 1. Question Which of the following features makes Ranthambore Tiger Reserve unique among India’s tiger reserves? a) It is home to the largest population of Royal Bengal Tigers in India. b) It is located at the confluence of two major river systems. c) It is the only tiger reserve in India with a saline lake ecosystem. d) It contains the Great Boundary Fault, where the Aravalis meet the Vindhyas. Correct Solution: D Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is unique due to the Great Boundary Fault, where the Aravalis and Vindhyas meet. It is not the only reserve located near river systems, it does not have saline lakes, and while it has a significant tiger population, it does not host the largest in India (that distinction belongs to reserves like Corbett).
