Correct:
D
Explanation
Saddle Peak is the highest point of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and is located on North Andaman. Standard geographical references list Saddle Peak explicitly as situated in North Andaman (near Diglipur) and identify it as the territory’s highest summit, with reported elevations around 732–738 metres—reflecting minor variation between sources [2]. Given these corroborating references, the correct location among the options is North Andaman. This identification is consistent with official district and forest materials that describe Saddle Peak and the associated Saddle Peak National Park as features of the North Andaman island group, making option 4 the accurate choice [2].
