Consider the following statements :
(1) Valley of Flowers is a part of Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve.
(2) The core zones of Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve form a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The Valley of Flowers National Park is one of the two core zones of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, the other being Nanda Devi National Park.
These two parks are inscribed together on the UNESCO World Heritage List as "Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers National Parks" (1988, extended in 2005), and the Biosphere Reserve has been in UNESCO's World Network of Biosphere Reserves since 2004. Both statements are therefore accepted as correct.
