Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate the vegetation type and location of Dehing Patkai National Park.
Dehing Patkai features lowland tropical wet evergreen rainforests.
It preserves the remnant rainforest stretches in Dibrugarh and Tinsukia districts of Assam.

Raimona National Park borders Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary in Bhutan.
This forms a contiguous protected habitat for endemic species such as the golden langur.
3

Kaziranga is drained by the Brahmaputra River.
The Narmada River flows through central and western India, completely distinct from the Assam valley.
