Correct Answer: Option (D) — None
Concept & Option Breakdown
Standard Reference Verified- Statement 1 is incorrect: Amarkantak Hills lie at the junction of the Vindhya, Satpura, and Maikal ranges in central India. Sahyadri is the Western Ghats, located far to the west and south.
- Statement 2 is incorrect: The Biligirirangan (BR) Hills are located in Karnataka/Tamil Nadu and form a connecting corridor between the Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats; they are not part of the Satpura Range.
- Statement 3 is incorrect: The Seshachalam Hills are part of the Eastern Ghats located in southern Andhra Pradesh (Rayalaseema), not the Western Ghats.
All three statements mix up major hill ranges (Sahyadri vs Satpura; BR Hills vs Satpura; Seshachalam vs Western Ghats), making all three incorrect.
