Answer 1

Answer:

C. Mahendragiri

• Mahendragiri is generally recognized as the highest peak in the Eastern Ghats.

• It is located in the state of Odisha (formerly Orissa) and rises to an elevation of approximately a little over 1,500 meters (4,900+ feet) above sea level.

• The Eastern Ghats are a discontinuous range of mountains along India's eastern coast, running roughly parallel to the Bay of Bengal through the states of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu.

• Compared to the Western Ghats, the Eastern Ghats are lower in elevation and more fragmented.
