Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

The Haryana Forest Department operates dedicated state-run conservation-breeding centres for specific species, each sited at one notified location rather than spread across every district or clubbed into a general zoo.

The Chinkara (Indian gazelle) Breeding Centre is one such dedicated facility, established by the Forest Department at Kairu on the Bhiwani-Behal road -- that is, in Bhiwani district. This matches the saved option, Bhiwani.

Cross-check against the other Haryana towns named in the options:

  • Pinjore hosts the Vulture Conservation and Breeding Centre, run by the Forest Department for vultures, not chinkara.

  • Jhajjar district hosts the Bhindawas and Khaparwas wildlife (bird) sanctuaries, not a chinkara-specific breeding centre.

  • Panipat is known historically for the three Battles of Panipat and today for its handloom/textile industry -- it has no dedicated wildlife breeding facility.

So among the four named towns, only Bhiwani hosts the notified Chinkara Breeding Centre.
