Solution

The correct option is B Meghalaya
The Khasi, The Garo, and The Jaintia hills are located in Meghalaya. Due to the force exerted by the northeastward movement of the Indian plate at the time of the Himalayan origin, a huge fault was created between Rajmahal hills and the Meghalaya Plateau. The Meghalaya plateau is further divided into three hills: The Garo, The Khasi and The Jaintia hills which are named after the tribal group living in this region.
