General KnowledgeCurrent Affairs
- A1 only
- B1 and 3 only
- C2 and 3 only
- D1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Bhindawas, Sultanpur National Park, Thol Lake and Wadhwana were all designated Ramsar sites in 2021 (statement 1 true), and all are important birding sites (statement 3 true). But they are not all naturally formed — Thol is a 1912 irrigation tank and Wadhwana a man-made reservoir (statement 2 false). Hence 1 and 3 only.
