Answer

Scotland is home to 22 National Parks, including Loch Lomond and The Trossachs.
The correct statement accurately reflects that Scotland has exactly 22 National Parks (the Cairngorms and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs). It correctly pairs the nation with its specific count and a valid park name.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Verify the total number and distribution of National Parks in the UK.
There are 1515 National Parks in total: 1010 in England, 33 in Wales, 22 in Scotland, and 00 in Northern Ireland.
This establishes the baseline facts for the distribution across nations.
2
Identify specific landmarks within those nations and their legal designations.
Loch Lomond and The Trossachs is a National Park in Scotland. The Lake District is a National Park in England. Snowdonia is a National Park in Wales. The Giant's Causeway (NI) and the Jurassic Coast (England) are natural features/World Heritage Sites, but not National Parks.
This distinguishes between the general category of 'natural feature' and the specific legal status of 'National Park'.
3
Evaluate the accuracy of the provided statements based on both count and status.
The statement regarding Scotland correctly identifies both the count (22) and a valid site (Loch Lomond).
Combining multiple data points ensures the answer is robust against distractors.
