Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 1, 3 and 4 only
Black-necked cranes winter in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh; several species of flying squirrels (e.g., Indian giant flying squirrel) occur across India; and snow leopards inhabit the high Himalaya. The Asiatic cheetah has been extinct in India since the mid-20th century, so statement 2 is wrong. Therefore only 1, 3 and 4 are naturally found.
