Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Coonoor is a prominent hill station located in the Nilgiris district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu [t2][t7]. Situated at an altitude of approximately 1,850 meters (over 6,000 feet) above sea level, it is the second-largest hill station in the Nilgiri Hills after Ooty (Udhagamandalam) [t3][t8]. The town is renowned for its extensive tea plantations, scenic valleys, and the historic Nilgiri Mountain Railway, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site [t2][t4]. Geographically, it lies in the Western Ghats, a mountain range that spans several states but specifically places Coonoor within the administrative boundaries of Tamil Nadu [t2][t10]. It is located about 19-20 kilometers southeast of Ooty and is a major center for tea production in South India [t2][t7]. The region's mild climate and lush vegetation make it a popular tourist destination [t5][t9].
