The correct answer is option 3, Jammu and Kashmir. Nanga Parbat is a famous mountain peak located in the western part of the Himalayas. It lies in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan, which is administered by Pakistan but is claimed by India. Therefore, it is situated in the territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
