The answer to this question will be, Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

• The Terai is a heavily forested region located around the base of the Himalayas.
• They are found in northern India and southern Nepal south of the Himalayan foothills.
• It is biologically a very diverse region.
• Inhabited by animals like the Indian rhinoceros, Asian elephant, gaur, blackbuck, tiger, leopard, gharial, mugger crocodile, and the king cobra.
• The Dudhwa National Park is a national park in the Terai belt of marshy grasslands in northern Uttar Pradesh, India.
• The Dudhwa National Park was named a National Park in the year 1977.
• The park supports a vibrant and diverse ecosystem consisting of and conserving many threatened and endangered species like the Bengal Tiger, which is one of its primary attractions.
• Other animals residing there include the swamp deer, sambar deer, barking deer, spotted deer, hog deer, sloth bear, jackal, jungle cat,  and leopard cat.
• Both statements (A) and (B) are correct but the second statement clearly does not provide an explanation for the first.
• Because the Terai is not there due to the Dudhwa National Park rather the park is situated there due to the Terai region.
• Hence, Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
