Correct Answer: Option D — Saltoro Kangri. Saltoro Kangri is correct because it is should be associated with the Karakoram rather than the main Himalayan arc. It is also associated with a peak of the Saltoro Mountains, a Karakoram subrange, which provides a second reliable identifying clue. These features are standard physical-geography facts and are useful for map-based and statement-based competitive-exam questions. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — Kangto: It is belongs to the Kangto massif of the eastern Himalaya; this is the specific geographical association of Kangto. Option B — Reo Purgyil: It is is associated with the western Himalayan landscape of Kinnaur; this is the specific geographical association of Reo Purgyil. Option C — Mount Saramati: It is is associated with the Patkai-Naga hill system of northeast India; this is the specific geographical association of Mount Saramati. Exam Takeaway: Connect Saltoro Kangri with “should be associated with the Karakoram rather than the main Himalayan arc” for quick revision.
