The correct option is A Bilgiri Hills
The Biligiriranga Hills, also called B R Hills, is a hill
range situated in south-eastern Karnataka, at its border with Tamil Nadu in
South India. The area is called Biligiriranga Swamy Temple Wildlife Sanctuary
or simply BRT Wildlife Sanctuary. The forests form an important wildlife
corridor between the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats, linking the largest
populations of Asian Elephants and tigers in southern India.
Situated thus at
the tail end of the eastern Ghats, the BR Hills form a part of the hill ranges
that connect the Eastern Ghats with the Western Ghats, with plants and wildlife
of both these areas. The forests on the hills support a variety of habitats and
thus the wildlife in the area ranges from species known from scrub forests and
dryer regions to species that are endemic to wet forests of the Western Ghats.
