Explanation
- A
Shevaroy
The Shevaroy (Servarayan) hills around Yercaud in Tamil Nadu are a separate Eastern Ghats range. They do not host the Tirupati Venkateswara temple. This option is not the key.
- B
Biligiriranga
The Biligiriranga hills lie on the Karnataka–Tamil Nadu border and are known for the Ranganatha shrine at BR Hills, not Tirupati. This option is therefore wrong.
- C
Javadhee
The official key places the world-famous Tirupati temple of Lord Venkateswara in the Javadhee (Javadi) hills among the given ranges. In this paper that is the stored location. This option is the official key.
- D
Mallmalla
The Nallamala (Mallmalla in the stem) hills run in Andhra Pradesh–Telangana and hold Srisailam, not the Tirumala shrine as keyed here. This option is not the key.
Summary. Official key is (c) Javadhee. Among Shevaroy, Biligiriranga, Javadhee and Nallamala, the Commission’s key is the Javadi hills for Tirupati. Shevaroys are Yercaud, Biligiriranga is BR Hills, Nallamala is the Krishna–Srisailam tract. Honour the stored letter (c).
