Hint:
A valley is a low-lying area between hills or mountains, usually with a river running through it. In geology, valleys or dale are longer than wide depressions. The terms U-shaped and V-shaped are geographical description terms that describe the shape of a valley.

Complete answer:
Kullu or Kulu is the capital of the Kullu district of Himalayas, India. It is located on the banks of the Beas River in the Kullu Valley, about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) north of Bhuntar Airport. Kullu is a vast open valley formed by the Beas River between Manali and Largi. The Kuru Valley is sandwiched between the Pir Panjal Mountains, the Lower Himalayas and the Greater Himalayas. Ski travel is an increasingly popular sport in the Himalayas surrounding the valley.

Administratively, the Kangra Valley is mainly located in the Himalayas of India. It is a popular tourist destination with peak season around March and April. Kangri dialect is spoken there. Dharamshala, the headquarters of the Kangra region, is located on the southern spur of Dhauladhar in the valley. It is home to the Masroor Rock Cutting Temple, also known as the "Himalayan Pyramid", and may be nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note:
A spur is a horizontal ridge or land tongue that descends from a hill, peak, or main peak of a mountain. World Heritage Sites are landmarks or areas protected by the laws of the international conventions administered by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
