Answer 1

Answer:

D. All are correct

• Correct Answer: Option A) 1 and 2 only

• It shares borders with both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu - This statement is True. Wayanad district shares its northern boundary with Karnataka and eastern boundary with Tamil Nadu. It is located in the northeastern part of Kerala state.

• It is completely landlocked - This statement is True. Wayanad is completely surrounded by land with no access to the sea or ocean. It is bordered by Karnataka to the north, Tamil Nadu to the east, and other Kerala districts (Kozhikode, Malappuram and Kannur) to the west and south.

• It is the only district in Kerala sharing its border with more than one state - This statement is False. While Wayanad does share borders with both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, it is not the only district in Kerala to do so. Palakkad district also shares borders with both Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Additionally, Idukki district shares a border with Tamil Nadu.
