In which state/UT is Sambhar Lake Ramsar site located?

Explanation

Sambhar Lake is a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance in Rajasthan. The Rajasthan Wetland Atlas lists a dedicated entry for "Sambhar Lake (Ramsar Site)" and describes Sambhar lake as a Ramsar site and a typical shallow saline wetland of Rajasthan located near Sambhar village. Sambhar Lake is not merely associated with Rajasthan geography; the state wetland atlas treats it as a Rajasthan wetland. The wider Ramsar context is the Ramsar Convention of 1971, under which India has 80+ such sites, but Sambhar Lake's location in Rajasthan is the decisive location fact.

Why the other options are wrong

• (B) Tamil Nadu is wrong because the Rajasthan Wetland Atlas identifies Sambhar Lake as a Ramsar site and shallow saline wetland of Rajasthan, not Tamil Nadu.
• (C) MP is wrong because Sambhar Lake is located in Rajasthan near Sambhar village, so Madhya Pradesh is not the state for this Ramsar site.
• (D) Assam is wrong because the Rajasthan Wetland Atlas ties Sambhar Lake Ramsar site to Rajasthan, not Assam.

Concept

RAS frequently tests Ramsar-site location mapping within Rajasthan geography. Wetlands combine static state geography with environment-convention facts and often appear as direct location facts.
