The abundance of glaciers and high peaks in Himadri is the result of which physical condition?

Being the highest main Himalayan range

The governing concept is the relationship between altitude, temperature, and permanent snow. Himadri, also called the Great Himalaya, is the highest and most continuous Himalayan range. Its peaks commonly rise above the permanent snowline, where very low temperatures allow snow to remain and accumulate over long periods. This accumulation feeds glaciers, which later supply important Himalayan rivers. Therefore, option A correctly identifies the physical basis: Himadri is the highest main Himalayan range. Option B refers to the Deccan Plateau, while options C and D describe landforms unrelated to the high, snow-covered Himalayan environment. The key exam link is: highest range, permanent snow, glaciers, and high peaks.
