The question asks for a mountain range in India that is spread over only one state.

Option 1, the Aravalli range, is not the correct answer as it is spread over multiple states - Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana, and Gujarat.

Option 2, the Satpura range, is also incorrect. It spans across multiple Indian states like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.

Option 3, the Ajanta range, is the correct answer as it is situated within the boundaries of only one state, Maharashtra.

Option 4, Sahyadri, is not the correct answer either as it is a part of the Western Ghats that extends across several states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu.

Hence, the only option that qualifies as correct is the Ajanta range.
