The correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

  • Subarnarekha does not flow through Simlipal; major rivers include Budhabalanga, Palpala, and Baitarani. Royal Bengal Tiger is conserved in Simlipal. Hence, Row 1 is incorrect matched.
  • Narmada flows near Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve. Indian Giant Squirrel is an important species here. Hence, Row 2 is correct.
  • Mahanadi does not pass through Sundarbans; the major river here is the Ganges and its distributaries (Hooghly, Matla, etc.). Saltwater Crocodile is found in Sundarbans. Hence, Row 3 is incorrect.
  • Brahmaputra flows through Dibru-Saikhowa. White-winged Duck is an important species here. Hence, Row 4 is correct.
