Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Gulf of Kachchh
By 1995 eight biosphere reserves had been notified: Nilgiri (1986), Nanda Devi (1988), Nokrek (1988), Great Nicobar (1989), Gulf of Mannar (1989), Manas (1989), Sunderbans (1989) and Simlipal (1994). The Gulf of Kachchh had not been designated, so it is the odd one out. ([licchavilyceum.com](https://licchavilyceum.com/upsc-civil-services-prelims-1995-solved-question-paper/))
