Solution
The correct option is B 1972
The Wildlife Protection Act was passed in 1972. Before this law came into force, there were only five national parks in India.
This law applies to the whole country except the state of Jammu & Kashmir which has its own act for the same purpose.
The act has 6 schedules and each schedule guarantees varied degrees of protection to animals and plants. Animals include insects, reptiles, fishes, birds and mammals.
