The correct answer is option 4 - Tiger. The tiger is the national animal of India. It holds a significant cultural and ecological importance in the country. Tigers have been a symbol of power, strength, and bravery in Indian history and mythology.

Option 1 - Elephant: While elephants are revered in Indian culture and are considered sacred in some religions, they are not the national animal of India.

Option 2 - Lion: Lions are not native to India and are associated more with African wildlife. Therefore, lions are not the national animal of India.

Option 3 - Rhinoceros: Rhinoceros, specifically the Indian rhinoceros, is found in India, particularly in the regions of Assam and West Bengal. However, it is not the national animal of India.

So, the correct answer is option 4 - Tiger. Tigers are an important part of India`s natural heritage and their conservation is a priority in the country.
