Explanation:

Recently, Kabartal Wetland (Bihar) and Asan Conservation Reserve (Uttrakhand) have been designated as Ramsar sites. Earlier in 2020, India designated 10 more wetlands as a Ramsar site, taking the total number from 27 to 37.

With 2 more inclusions, the total number of Ramsar sites in India is 39, the highest in South Asia.

Kabartal Wetland

It is known as Kanwar Jheel, it covers 2,620 hectares of the Indo-Gangetic plains in the Begusarai district of Bihar.
It acts as a vital flood buffer for the region besides providing livelihood opportunities to local communities.

Asan Conservation Reserve

ACR is a 444-hectare stretch of the Asan River running down to its confluence with the Yamuna River in Dehradun district of Uttarakhand.
It is Uttarakhand's first Ramsar Site.

Saman Bird Sanctuary and Parvati Agra Bird Sanctuary in Uttar Pradesh were declared as the Ramsar Sites in 2019.

Renuka Wetland of Himachal Pradesh is the smallest Ramsar Site in India, followed by Chandertal Wetland in Himachal Pradesh.

Hence option 3rd is correct.
