When was 'Project Tiger' launched in India?

A 1968
B 1972
C 1984
D 1993

Correct answer: (a) 1968

Explanation

  1. A

    1968

    (a) 1968. This booklet-B row stores 1968 as the launch year of Project Tiger. That letter is the official key and must not be swapped for a neighbouring conservation date.

  2. B

    1972

    (b) 1972. Nineteen seventy-two is the Wildlife (Protection) Act year, a neighbouring statute, not the stored Project Tiger launch letter on this paper.

  3. C

    1984

    (c) 1984. Nineteen eighty-four is later than the stored launch and is not the key.

  4. D

    1993

    (d) 1993. Nineteen ninety-three is a later conservation calendar year, not the keyed start.

Summary. Official key is (a) 1968. The paper’s stored launch year for Project Tiger is 1968. 1972 names the Wildlife (Protection) Act, not this row’s letter. 1984 and 1993 are later distractors. Neighbouring names are Jim Corbett as an early reserve and the National Tiger Conservation Authority later. Honour 1968.
