A domestic river-linking corridor exclusively for inland fish migration within peninsular India.
C
A major migratory route used by waterbirds traveling between Eurasian breeding grounds and South Asian wintering sites.
D

Correct answer: (c) A major migratory route used by waterbirds traveling between Eurasian breeding grounds and South Asian wintering sites.
