Correct Answer:
C. Karakoram 2
The correct answer is Karakoram 2. K2 is the second-highest mountain in the world, situated in the Karakoram mountain range. The 'K' in its name is an abbreviation for Karakoram, and the '2' indicates that it was the second peak identified and surveyed in that range by the British Great Trigonometrical Survey of India in the mid-19th century. This naming convention was used for several peaks in the region.
- Options A, B, and D (Kashmir 2, Kangchenjunga 2, Kangra 2) are incorrect because K2's designation is specifically tied to the Karakoram range, not other geographical areas or different mountain systems like Kangchenjunga, which is a separate peak.
