Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine the correct answer, we need to evaluate the accuracy of each statement provided in the question.

Statement I: Nilgiri hills connect Eastern and Western Ghats

The Nilgiri hills are located at the junction of the Eastern and Western Ghats. They are part of the Western Ghats and form a prominent range that connects with the Eastern Ghats. Thus, this statement is correct.

Statement II: Satpura hills connect Eastern and Northern Ghats

The Satpura Range is located in central India and runs parallel to the Vindhya Range. It does not connect the Eastern and Northern Ghats. The Northern Ghats do not exist as a noted geographical feature in India; the term used is incorrect. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.

Conclusion

Based on the analysis above:

• Statement I is correct (Nilgiri hills connect Eastern and Western Ghats).
• Statement II is incorrect (Satpura hills do not connect Eastern and Northern Ghats, nor is Northern Ghats a recognized geographic term).

The most appropriate answer is: Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
