Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

This question requires knowledge of the geography of Telangana. We need to match the hills and ranges to their correct locations.
(1) Rakhi hills are located in the Jagitial district. So, (1) matches with (b).
(2) Anantagiri hills are a major tourist destination located in the Vikarabad district. So, (2) matches with (a).
(3) Kandikal hills (or Kandikal Gutta) are situated in the Peddapally district. So, (3) matches with (c).
(4) The Balaghat Range is a low-lying mountain range that passes through parts of the old Mahabubnagar district (now spanning several new districts). So, (4) matches with (d).
The correct matching is: (1)-(b), (2)-(a), (3)-(c), (4)-(d).
This corresponds to option (C).
