      Question

      What is the primary concern experts raised about

      reintroducing king cobras in Madhya Pradesh?
      A Lack of funding Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Incompatible climate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C No historical native population and risk of hybridisation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Overpopulation of similar species Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E High cost of zoo enclosures Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Experts have strongly opposed reintroducing king cobras in Madhya Pradesh due to the lack of historical evidence of a stable native population and the risk of genetic dilution. Recent genetic studies identified distinct lineages, especially the Western Ghats population, classified as Ophiophagus kaalinga. Introducing these into MP's dry deciduous forests (unsuitable habitat) could harm conservation efforts.
