Identify the odd combination of the habitat and the particular animal concerned.
A Sunderbans - Bengal Tiger
B Periyar - Elephant
C Rann of Kutch - Wild Ass
D Dachigam National Park - Snow Leopard

Detailed Solution

Dachigam National Park is located about 22 kilometres from Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir.
It was set up for the conservation of the Hangul or Kashmir stag, which is the animal this park is famous for.
So the combination Dachigam National Park - Snow Leopard is the odd (wrong) one.
The Sunderbans in West Bengal are known for the Royal Bengal Tiger.
Periyar in Kerala is known for its elephants.
The Rann of Kutch in Gujarat is the home of the Indian Wild Ass.
These three combinations are correct, so the odd combination is Dachigam National Park - Snow Leopard.
