Which statement about Everglades National Park is true?

• A. It receives about five million visitors each year.
• B. It is the largest tropical wilderness in the United States.
• C. It is the second-largest national park in the United States.
• D. UNESCO designated it as a World Heritage Site in 1985.

Answer: (B)

Everglades National Park is best described by its status as the largest tropical wilderness in the United States. Its immense subtropical wetland landscape—about 1.5 million acres—supports a unique mix of wildlife and habitats that you can’t find in most other US parks. That scale in a tropical/subtropical climate is what makes this statement true. The other options don’t fit: visitation numbers aren’t in the five‑million range annually, it isn’t the second‑largest national park, and UNESCO designated it a World Heritage Site in 1979, not 1985.
