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.
