D Correct answer
Explanation

The Asiatic cheetah became extinct in India in the 1950s, with the last confirmed sightings in the 1940s. While India recently reintroduced African cheetahs to Kuno National Park (starting in 2022), for many decades the correct answer was that cheetahs were extinct in India. Gir Forest is known for Asiatic lions, Ranthambore for tigers, and Kaziranga for rhinoceros.
