The correct option is D) Lesser Himalaya.
The Himalayan mountain range is geographically divided into several parallel ranges running broadly from west to east. From north to south, these major ranges are the Trans-Himalaya, Great Himalayas (Himadri), Lesser Himalayas (Himachal), and Outer Himalayas (Shiwaliks). The Pir Panjal Range is the largest range of the Lesser Himalayas, located in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh.
The Lesser Himalayas have an average elevation ranging from 3,700 to 4,500 meters. Besides Pir Panjal, other important ranges within the Lesser Himalayas include the Dhaula Dhar, Mussoorie, and Nag Tiba ranges. These ranges are characterized by their rugged terrain, beautiful valleys (like Kashmir Valley, Kangra Valley), and popular hill stations.
