C. `1 rarr 2 rarr 3 rarr 4`
D. `4 rarr 3 rarr 2 rarr 1`

Answer

To arrange the categories in ascending order based on their numbers in India, we will first identify the number of each category:

1. **Biosphere Reserves**: There are **14** biosphere reserves in India.
2. **Hotspots**: There are **3** biodiversity hotspots in India.
3. **National Parks**: There are **90** national parks in India.
4. **Wildlife Sanctuaries**: There are **448** wildlife sanctuaries in India.

Now, we will arrange these categories in ascending order based on their numbers:

1. **Hotspots**: 3
2. **Biosphere Reserves**: 14
3. **National Parks**: 90
4. **Wildlife Sanctuaries**: 448

Thus, the ascending order based on the number in India is:

**(2) Hotspots < (1) Biosphere Reserves < (3) National Parks < (4) Wildlife Sanctuaries**

### Final Answer:
**(2) < (1) < (3) < (4)**
