Answer 1

Hint: The Land of Golden Fleece is famous for its golden Wattle flower and the teddy looking animals called Koala which live on the eucalyptus trees.

Complete Step by Step answer: Let’s take a look at the different options given in the question one by one.
a.Bhutan – The Kingdom of Bhutan is a landlocked country and is situated amidst a hilly terrain. It does not have eucalyptus trees and is known as the Land of Thunderbolt. So, it is an incorrect option.
b.Japan – Japan is located in the far east and is the first country in the Northern Hemisphere to witness the sunrise. Hence, it is called the Land of the Rising Sun. So, it is an incorrect option.
c.Canada – Canada is located in the continent of North America and is well known for the lumberjacks. Hence, it is widely known as the Land of the Lumberjacks. So, it is an incorrect option.
d.Australia – Australia is famous for the Merino breed of sheep which yields very fine wool. This has earned Australia the title of the Land of the Golden Fleece. It has the Wattle flower which is golden in colour and also is native to the Eucalyptus trees that house the Koalas. So, it is the correct option.

Note: Besides Australia, Georgia is also known as the Land of the Golden Fleece. Hence there might be an ambiguity if the question has both the countries as a choice. The candidates must pay attention and read the question carefully in such a case..
