Answer 1

Answer:

B. Silent Valley National park

Silent Valley National park • Located in the Palakkad district, Silent Valley National Park is one of the last undisturbed tracts of South Western Ghats mountain rain forests in India. • It is exceptionally famous for hosting the largest viable population of the Lion-Tailed Macaque (Macaca silenus), an endangered primate endemic to the Western Ghats. • The park's lack of the noisy Cicada insects gives it its unique name.
