Correct Answer: Option D

The Valley of Flowers National Park is renowned for its alpine meadows and lies entirely within the temperate alpine zone.

The valley's vegetation zones include:

  • Sub-alpine (3,200m - 3,500m): This zone marks the tree line.
  • Lower alpine (3,500m - 3,700m).
  • Higher alpine (above 3,700m).

Therefore, the Valley of Flowers National Park is the only park among the options that lies completely in the temperate alpine zone.
