Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) Nanda Devi

Nanda Devi (7816 m, Uttarakhand) is the highest peak lying entirely within Indian-administered territory. Kanchenjunga (8586 m) is higher but lies on the Sikkim-Nepal border, so it is shared with Nepal; K2 lies in Pakistan-administered Gilgit-Baltistan, and Everest lies on the Nepal-China border.
