Q1. Which of the following Indian states or union territories has the highest number of wildlife sanctuaries?
Explanation
Among the listed choices, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands have the highest number of wildlife sanctuaries. The island group has many protected coastal, marine and island habitats, so its sanctuary count is comparatively high. Himachal Pradesh has important Himalayan protected areas, but it does not exceed the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in this comparison. West Bengal has sanctuaries across the Himalayan foothills, plains and Sundarbans region, yet its count is lower among these choices. Lakshadweep is a small island territory and has far fewer sanctuaries.
