Solution

The correct option is B Anai Mudi
  • Anamudi or Anai Mudi is a mountain located in the Indian state of Kerala.
  • It is the highest peak in the Western Ghats and South India, at an elevation of 2,695 meters, and a topographic prominence of 2,479 meters.
  • The literal meaning of Anamudi is “Elephants Foreheads” arising from the fact that the peak is home to the largest surviving population of Asian elephants, Gaurs, and Nilgiri Tahrs.
  • Bamboos, black wood, and teak trees are found in abundance in the green forest surrounding the Anamudi Peak. The peak is famous for the Neela Kurinji flower which blossoms every twelve years.
