Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
The Red Panda’s natural Indian range is the eastern Himalaya (Sikkim, West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh), not the western Himalaya, making statement 1 false. The Bengal Slow Loris inhabits the dense evergreen forests of North-East India, so statement 2 is correct; hence only statement 2 is true.
