(a)Agasthyamalai
(b)Nallamalai
(c)Nilgiri
(d)Panchmarhi
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Nallamalai
Agasthyamalai, Nilgiri and Pachmarhi are all notified biosphere reserves under India’s Man-and-the-Biosphere programme, designated in 2001, 1986 and 1999 respectively. Nallamalai is only a forest range/tiger-reserve tract in the Eastern Ghats and has never been declared a biosphere reserve; hence option (b) is the odd one out.
