The correct answer is option 1, Bodi hills in Tamil Nadu. In January 2015, the Government of India gave its approval for the establishment of a Neutrino Observatory in Bodi hills, Tamil Nadu.

A neutrino observatory is a facility dedicated to studying and detecting the presence of neutrinos, which are subatomic particles that have no electric charge and interact very weakly with matter. These observatories are typically located deep underground to shield the detectors from interference from cosmic rays and other background radiation.

Option 2, Kaina hills in Manipur, is incorrect as there is no known Neutrino Observatory approved or established in that location.

Option 3, Jampui hills in Tripura, is also incorrect as there is no known Neutrino Observatory approved or established in that location.

Option 4, Nallamala hills in Andhra Pradesh, is incorrect as the approved location for the Neutrino Observatory is Bodi hills in Tamil Nadu, not Nallamala hills in Andhra Pradesh.

Therefore, based on the information provided, the correct answer is option 1, Bodi hills in Tamil Nadu.
