Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. National parks are strictly protected — no human activity allowed; in wildlife sanctuaries, certain limited activities (grazing, collecting firewood, medicinal plants) are permitted
In a national park, NO human activity (grazing, collecting wood, hunting, even residence) is allowed — strict protection. In a wildlife sanctuary, certain regulated, low-impact activities are permitted (residents can graze livestock, collect medicinal plants, etc.) while killing/capturing animals is strictly forbidden in both.
