Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Only two
In 2023 UNESCO inscribed only two Indian properties: Santiniketan (West Bengal) and the ‘Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas’ in Karnataka. Rani-ki-Vav was added earlier in 2014 ([whc.unesco.org](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/922/?utm_source=openai)) and the Mahabodhi Temple Complex at Bodh Gaya in 2002 ([whc.unesco.org](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1056?utm_source=openai)), so exactly two of the four listed sites were included in 2023.
