D

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

1. The question asks for the correct sequence of the given geographical features from north to south. 2. Mahadeo Hills are part of the Satpura Range, located in Madhya Pradesh, generally north of the main Satpura crest in that section. 3. Satpura Range is a major hill range in central India, running roughly east-west, south of the Narmada River and north of the Tapti River. The Mahadeo Hills form its central part. 4. Sahyadri Parvat is another name for the Western Ghats, which run parallel to the western coast of India, located significantly south of the Satpura Range. 5. Therefore, moving from north to south, the sequence would be: Mahadeo Hills (part of Satpura), the broader Satpura Range, and then further south, the Sahyadri Parvat (Western Ghats). 6. The sequence is 1 (Mahadeo Hills) - 3 (Satpura Range encompassing Mahadeo hills but extending further south/east/west) - 2 (Sahyadri Parvat).
