Hint: It is the biggest national park in Assam with great one-horned rhinoceros.

Complete answer:
Kaziranga National Park is a national park situated in the Golaghat, Karbi Anglong and Nagaon districts of the state of Assam, India. It is the world's largest habitat for the great one-horned rhinoceros, with more than 90% in number. It is India's biggest biodiversity treasure, and UNESCO declared it as a world heritage site in 1985. According to the census held in March 2018 by the Forest Department of the Government of Assam and some recognized NGOs, the rhino population in Kaziranga National Park is 2413. Other important animals in Kaziranga National Park are One-Horned rhinoceros, Royal Bengal Tiger, Asian elephant, Wild Water Buffalo and Swamp Deer, and they are collectively known as 'Big Five' of Kaziranga. Kaziranga is one of the most important wild breeding areas outside Africa for multiple species of large cats, such as Bengal tigers and leopards.

Additional information:
-Kaziranga National Park was formed in 1908 on the recommendation of Mary Curzon, and it is located in the edge of the Eastern Himalayan biodiversity hotspots – Golaghat and Nagaon district.
-The tiger population has also increased in Kaziranga, so it was declared as Tiger Reserve in 2006.
-The park is also recognized as an Important Bird Area by Birdlife International for the conservation of avifaunal species.

So, the correct answer is Kaziranga National Park.
