• The Sundarbans Mangrove Forest is one of the largest such forests in the world having a 140,000-hectare area.
• It lies on the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers on the Bay of Bengal.
• The Sundarbans globally know for many endangered species including the Royal Bengal Tiger, Ganges and Irawadi dolphins, Estuarine Crocodiles, and the Critically Endangered Endemic River Terrapin (Batagur Baska).
• It is the only mangrove habitat in the world for Panthera Tigris Species.
• Silent Valley Reserve Forest can be classified under four forest types that are West-coast tropical evergreen forest, Southern subtropical broad-leaved hill forest, Southern montane wet temperate forest, and Grassland.

Tip: We know that Mangroves are present in Sunderbans and only the 4th option matches Sundarban with Mangroves. Thus all the other options get automatically cancelled.
