What is the correct reason for calling Shiwalik the Outer Himalaya?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is the southernmost and outermost Himalayan range

The direct answer is B. Shiwalik is the southernmost and outermost Himalayan range, so it is called the Outer Himalaya. The three main belts, from north to south, are Himadri or Greater Himalaya, Himachal or Lesser Himalaya, and Shiwalik or Outer Himalaya. Option B states both important facts: southernmost and outermost. Option A is wrong because Himadri is the highest and northernmost range, not Shiwalik. Option C is wrong because the Deccan Plateau is a separate Peninsular landform. Option D is wrong because Lakshadweep is a coral-island group and has no role in naming the Himalayan ranges. Remember the chain: Greater, Lesser, Outer = Himadri, Himachal, Shiwalik.
