What is the zoological name of the State bird of Punjab ?
Answer: A
The State bird of Punjab is the northern goshawk, the baaz, whose zoological name is Accipiter gentilis.
The goshawk is a bird of prey associated with Guru Gobind Singh, who is traditionally depicted with a white hawk, and it was adopted as Punjab's State bird.
The other three are Punjab's other State symbols or not animals at all: Antilope cervicapra is the blackbuck, the State animal; Dalbergia sissoo is the shisham tree, the State tree; and Eichhornia crassipes is water hyacinth, an invasive aquatic weed. Two of them are plants, so they cannot be a bird's zoological name.
