Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct sequence from south to north is Doddabetta, Vindhyachal, Dhaulagiri, and Kailash. Doddabetta is the highest peak of the Nilgiri Hills in Tamil Nadu, Southern India, located at approximately 11°N latitude. Moving north, the Vindhyachal (Vindhya Range) is situated in Central India, acting as a traditional boundary between North and South India. Further north lies Dhaulagiri, a major Himalayan peak in Nepal at approximately 28°N latitude. The northernmost point in this sequence is the Kailash Range, located in the Trans-Himalayan region of Tibet at approximately 31°N latitude [1]. This sequence follows the increasing latitudinal gradient from the southern peninsula through the central highlands to the high Himalayas and Trans-Himalayas.
