💡 Analysis & Explanation
Biogeographic Zoning Analysis ▼
Manas, Namdapha, and Neora Valley National Parks feature vast elevational gradients, meaning they encompass multiple vegetation zones, from tropical and subtropical forests at lower altitudes to temperate environments higher up.
Alpine Specification ▼
The Valley of Flowers National Park, located in the high Himalayas of Uttarakhand, is situated entirely at an elevation above 3,300 meters. Due to this extreme altitude, its entire ecosystem falls strictly within the temperate alpine zone, characterized by alpine meadows and endemic flora.
Conclusion ▼
The Valley of Flowers is the only park listed that is exclusively alpine, marking option D as the correct choice.
