Explanation

The Himalayan peaks are matched to their respective Indian states as follows: Nanga Parbat is located in the Jammu and Kashmir region (specifically the Gilgit-Baltistan area), marking the western anchor of the Himalayas [2]. Nanda Devi, the second-highest peak in India, is situated in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand [1]. Kanchanjunga (or Kangchenjunga), the highest peak in India and third-highest in the world, is located on the border between Sikkim and Nepal [1]. Therefore, the correct mapping is A-1 (Nanga Parbat - J&K), B-3 (Nanda Devi - Uttarakhand), and C-2 (Kanchanjunga - Sikkim). This corresponds to the sequence 1, 3, 2 in the provided options. Historically, Nanga Parbat is associated with the Kashmir Himalaya, while Nanda Devi is a prominent feature of the Kumaon Himalaya in Uttarakhand [3].
