In India's Himalayan region the highest peaks are mainly found in which range?

Correct answer: Himadri

The direct answer is B, Himadri. The Himalayas are commonly divided into three parallel ranges: the northernmost and highest Great Himalaya, called Himadri; the middle Himachal or Lesser Himalaya; and the outer Shiwalik range. Himadri contains many of the highest Himalayan peaks and remains snow-covered in large areas. The reasoning is: highest peaks → highest Himalayan range → Great Himalaya → Himadri. Option A, Shiwalik, is the outermost and lowest Himalayan range, made largely of unconsolidated sediments, so it is not the main range of the highest peaks. Option B is correct because Himadri is the highest and most continuous range. Option C, Terai, is a wet belt south of the Bhabar at the Himalayan foothills, not a high mountain range. Option D, Bhabar, is a porous pebble-covered belt where streams often disappear underground; it is also at the foothills, not among the highest peaks. Exam cue: Himadri = highest, Himachal = middle, Shiwalik = lowest.
