Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: A National Park is an in-situ conservation area strictly reserved for the betterment of wildlife.
Step 2: Unlike a Sanctuary (which may focus on a particular species of fauna), a National Park protects the entire ecosystem.
Step 3: This includes all biological components: the plants (flora), the animals (fauna), and the landscape. Human activities like grazing or cultivation are strictly prohibited.
