Solution

The correct option is A Western
  • Western Ghats is a mountain range that runs parallel to the western coast of the Indian peninsula, located entirely in India.
  • It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the eight "hottest hot-spots" of biological diversity in the world.
  • The area is one of the world's ten "Hottest biodiversity hotspots" and has over 7,402 species of flowering plants, 1,814 species of non-flowering plants, 139 mammal species, 508 bird species, 179 amphibian species, 6,000 insects species and 290 freshwater fish species; it is likely that many undiscovered species live in the Western Ghats.
