Which of the following is false?
A.The Himalayan mountains are a fragile resource.
B.Climate change has little effect on the Himalayas.✓ Correct
C.They bring prosperity to large parts of the world.
D.They have some of the longest glaciers.
Explanation
The passage describes the Himalayan ecosystem as 'most fragile' and emphasizes that it is sensitive to environmental impacts. The passage talks about the urgent need for conservation, implying that climate change has significant — not little — effect on the Himalayas. Option 1 (fragile), option 3 (bring prosperity), and option 4 (longest glaciers outside the two poles) are all directly supported by the passage. Therefore, option 2 is the false statement.
