Why the other options are incorrect: Option B — **Udaipur**: This place is conventionally associated with **“City of Lakes”**, linked to its interconnected historic lakes including Pichola and Fateh Sagar. Option C — **Japan**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Land of the Rising Sun”**, linked to its position east of the Asian mainland and the sun imagery in its national tradition. Option D — **Myanmar**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Land of Golden Pagodas”**, linked to the numerous gilded Buddhist pagodas found across the country. Exam Takeaway: Remember **City of Light — Paris** for quick revision of **Geographical Epithets GK**.
