Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Valley of Flowers National Park
Valley of Flowers NP (Uttarakhand) lies entirely between 3,352 m and 3,658 m and is recognised as being ‘completely in the temperate alpine zone’ ✔ ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_Flowers_National_Park?utm_source=openai)). Manas, Namdapha and Neora Valley span lower elevations that include tropical/sub-tropical belts, so they are not wholly alpine. Hence option (d) is correct.
