Answer 1

Answer:

C. Only (iii)

• "Panch Pahari" literally translates to "the city of five hills," and Rajgir is historically and geographically known for being surrounded by five hills: Ratnagiri, Vipulachala, Vaibhagiri, Udayagiri, and Sonagiri.

• This unique geographical feature is why Rajgir acquired this name.
