Q1. Pangong Tso Lake is situated in which of the following subdivisions of the Himalayas? Choose the most appropriate option.

A Himachal and Uttarakhand Himalayas

B Darjeeling and Sikkim Himalayas

C Arunachal Himalayas

D Kashmir/Ladakh or Northwestern Himalayas Correct

Explanation

Pangong Tso is a high-altitude lake in the Ladakh region, so it belongs to the Kashmir/Ladakh or Northwestern Himalayas subdivision. The Himachal and Uttarakhand Himalayas lie farther south-east and include ranges around those two states, not Pangong Tso. The Darjeeling and Sikkim Himalayas are part of the eastern Himalayan sector near West Bengal and Sikkim. The Arunachal Himalayas are still farther east. Since the lake is associated with Ladakh, the northwestern Himalayan subdivision is the most appropriate classification.
