Answer
Correct Answer: All (a), (b) and (c)
Explanation
### Concept & Fact
The "Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas," nominated and accepted as India's 42nd UNESCO World Heritage site, comprises three magnificent 13th-century temples in Karnataka.
### Step-by-Step Solution
* The property includes three distinct components:
1. The Channakeshava temple in Belur.
2. The Hoysaleswara temple in Halebidu.
3. The Keshava temple in Somanathapura.
* Since all three listed temples are part of the officially recognized UNESCO World Heritage ensemble, option (e) encompasses the complete and correct list.
### Exam Strategy & Shortcut
When encountering "All of the above" or combinations like "All (a), (b) and (c)" in current affairs regarding specific heritage ensembles, if you can confirm at least two belong to the group, the "All" option is highly likely correct.
### Common Pitfall
Students may only know the most famous Belur and Halebidu temples (Channakeshava and Hoysaleswara) and mistakenly choose "Only (a) and (c)", forgetting the Keshava temple in Somanathapura.
### Final Answer
Therefore, the correct answer is **All (a), (b) and (c)**.
