Answer 1

Answer:

C. Meghalaya

• In January 2022, the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) outlined "green rules" for the living root bridges of Meghalaya to enhance their chances of being recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

• The living root bridges are one of Meghalaya’s most beautiful tangible heritage sites.

• These sites have recently been added to the tentative UNESCO world heritage site list.

• They are made of intertwined roots which are a sort of magic, but they aren’t imaginary.

• These bridges have been built for centuries by the indigenous people of the land(Khasis and the Jaintias).
