AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
(D) Bengal fox
The Government of India launched special conservation projects for the tiger, one-horned rhinoceros, Gharial, Asiatic lion, snow leopard, and others — but not the Bengal fox.
The textbook (Chapter 2) lists animals covered under special government projects: tiger, one-horned rhinoceros, Kashmir stag, three crocodile species (including Gharial), Asiatic lion, Indian elephant, black buck, great Indian bustard, and snow leopard. Bengal fox does not appear in this list, making (D) the correct answer. In MCQs like this, look for the animal absent from the textbook's enumerated list.
