Hint: 1)It is a town in the district of Anjaw in Arunachal Pradesh.
2)It's one of India's most permanently settled eastern cities.
3)The Lohit River enters India from this place.

Complete answer:
Kibithu is the easternmost point of India which is situated in Arunachal Pradesh in the centre of lush green jungles. The Lohit River flows alongside a village from where the first sunrise in India can be witnessed.

In Arunachal Pradesh, 8 km south of the LAC, it is through Kibithu that one of the tributaries of Brahmaputra, Lohit River, forays into India and passes through Lohit Valley. With its towering mountains situated on the banks of the Lohit River, the Kibithu area is not very populated.

Lets see option :
Tirap : In the southeastern part of the state of Arunachal Pradesh in India, the Tirap district is located. It shares Assam's state border, Myanmar's international border and Changlang and Longding's district border thus this is the wrong option.
Lohit : This enchanting land is located in the easternmost tip of our country, namely LOHIT (also Lohit) district of Arunachal Pradesh, which is renowned for its pristine scenic beauty but its not easternmost point thus this is the wrong option.
Tamang : it's not a region, it is a community of tamang tribes thus this option is wrong too.
Kibithu : Kibithu is the easternmost point of India which is situated in Arunachal Pradesh in the centre of lush green jungles thus this option is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D)

Note: The Kibithu sector was a witness to the Indo-China battles in 1962. Currently, though heavily guarded, it is a peaceful place with only a few adventure-loving and adventurous tourists making it to this region.
An internal plan to convert the highly militarised region near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China into a tourist destination is being checked by the Indian Army. The army allegedly claims that the area has the potential to become a summer tourist centre.
