The correct answer is option 'D' - Naga hills.
Explanation:
The hill ranges mentioned in the options - Garo hills, Khasi hills, and Jantia hills - are all located along the international boundary with Bangladesh. However, the Naga hills are not situated along the international boundary with Bangladesh. Let's explore this further:
1. Garo hills:
- The Garo hills are located in the western part of Meghalaya, a state in northeastern India.
- These hills extend from the Brahmaputra River in the north to the border of Bangladesh in the south.
- The international boundary with Bangladesh runs along the southern part of the Garo hills.
2. Khasi hills:
- The Khasi hills are also situated in Meghalaya, to the east of the Garo hills.
- These hills are known for their scenic beauty and are a major tourist attraction.
- The international boundary with Bangladesh runs along the southern part of the Khasi hills as well.
3. Jantia hills:
- The Jantia hills are located in eastern Meghalaya, between the Khasi hills and the border with Bangladesh.
- This region is known for its rich mineral resources, particularly coal.
- Similar to the Garo and Khasi hills, the international boundary with Bangladesh runs along the southern part of the Jantia hills.
4. Naga hills:
- The Naga hills are a mountain range located in the northeastern part of India.
- These hills are primarily located in the state of Nagaland and extend into the neighboring states of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, and Myanmar (formerly Burma).
- The Naga hills do not share a border with Bangladesh.
In conclusion, while the Garo hills, Khasi hills, and Jantia hills are located along the international boundary with Bangladesh, the Naga hills are not.
