Arakan Yoma is a mountain range found in Myanmar, which makes Option 2 the correct answer. Now, let`s examine each option in detail:

Option 1 - Baluchistan: Baluchistan is a region located in South Asia, primarily in Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan. It is not the location of the Arakan Yoma range.

Option 2 - Myanmar: This is the correct answer. Arakan Yoma is a mountain range in western Myanmar, and it serves as an extension of the Himalayas.

Option 3 - Nepal: Even though Nepal is home to the highest part of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, it is not where Arakan Yoma is located.

Option 4 - Kashmir: Kashmir is part of the northernmost region of the Indian subcontinent. It contains parts of the Himalayas but is not the site of the Arakan Yoma range.
