 Silent Valley of Kerala contains rare species of plants and animals.

The hoolock gibbon is the only species of ape found in India, specifically in the hill forests of Assam, Nagaland, and other Northeastern states. The other options (orangutan, chimpanzee, gorilla) are primates but not native to India.

Gulf of Mannar was recognised in 2001, Nanda Devi in 2004 and Sundarbans in 2001.

Periyar National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary, located in Kerala, is famous as an elephant and tiger reserve. It is nestled in the Cardamom Hills and Pandalam Hills of the southern Western Ghats.

Jim Corbett National Park is located in Uttarakhand, not Bihar. All other options are correctly matched - Kaziranga is in Assam, Jog Falls is in Karnataka, and Periyar is in Kerala. The question asks for the INCORRECT pair.

Ranthambore National Park is located in Rajasthan and is famous for its tiger population under Project Tiger. Gujarat's Gir National Park is famous for lions.
