1. A

   4 3 2 1

   Code 4 3 2 1 would put Nandadevi in Meghalaya and Nokrek in Uttarakhand. Nandadevi is in Uttarakhand and Nokrek in Meghalaya, so this code swaps the last pair.

2. B

   4 3 1 2

   Code 4 3 1 2 is Similipal–Odisha, Pachmarhi–Madhya Pradesh, Nandadevi–Uttarakhand, Nokrek–Meghalaya. All four UNESCO biosphere locations match, so (b) is the official key.

3. C

   1 3 4 2

   Code 1 3 4 2 would send Similipal to Uttarakhand and Nandadevi to Odisha. Both Himalayan and Eastern Ghats assignments collapse.

4. D

   3 4 1 2

   Code 3 4 1 2 starts Similipal in Madhya Pradesh and Pachmarhi in Odisha—the two central-eastern sites reversed.

Summary. Official key is (b) 4 3 1 2. Similipal is Odisha’s tiger and biosphere landscape; Pachmarhi is the Satpura biosphere in Madhya Pradesh; Nanda Devi is the Uttarakhand Himalayan biosphere; Nokrek is the Garo Hills biosphere in Meghalaya. Honour the stored letter (b).
