Correct Answer:
B. Sakaser
This question pertains to the geographical features of the Salt Range, a significant mountain range in Pakistan known for its mineral wealth and unique topography.
The correct answer is Sakaser. Sakaser (or Sakesar) is indeed the highest peak of the Salt Range, standing at an elevation of approximately 1,522 meters (4,993 feet). It is a prominent landmark and offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the Potohar Plateau and the Indus River.
- Soan refers to the Soan River, which flows through the Potohar Plateau, adjacent to the Salt Range, but it is a river, not a peak.
- Hindu Kush is a major mountain range spanning Afghanistan and Pakistan, entirely separate from and much larger than the Salt Range.
- Takht-e-Sulaiman is a high peak located in the Sulaiman Mountains, situated in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces, far to the west of the Salt Range.
Identifying Sakaser correctly demonstrates knowledge of Pakistan's regional geography.
