Solution
The correct option is B Purvanchal.
The Purvanchal Mountains, or Eastern Mountains, consist of the area of the Himalayas bending sharply to the south and spreading along the eastern boundary of India beyond the Dihang gorge.
Composed largely of strong sandstone, they are the eastern extension of the Himalayan range, lying in northeastern India near Myanmar.
Extending from Arunachal Pradesh in the north to the Mizoram in the south, they form India's border with Myanmar.
