Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The two Ghats come together in the south of the peninsula.
The meeting point is the Nilgiri Hills, whose highest point is Doddabetta.
The Cardamom and Anaimalai Hills lie further south, within the Western Ghats themselves.
Worth noting
Anaimudi, in the Anaimalai Hills, is the highest peak in peninsular India — a different fact, and the usual trap in this option set.
