By what name is Himachal also known?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Lesser Himalaya

The Himalayas are divided into parallel ranges according to their height, position, and physical features. Himachal is the middle range of the Himalayan system. It is also known as the Lesser Himalaya because it lies between the Great Himalaya in the north and the Outer Himalaya, or Shiwalik range, in the south. The word Himachal means a snowy or mountain region, but in geography it refers specifically to this middle Himalayan range.

Therefore, the correct choice is C, Lesser Himalaya. The Great Himalaya is the highest and northernmost range, while the Outer Himalaya is the southernmost and lowest range. The Indian Desert is unrelated to the Himalayan ranges. Remembering the pair “Himachal—Lesser Himalaya” helps avoid confusion with the other two parallel divisions.
