Hint:
In excess of 300 islands make up the Andamans. North, Middle, and South Andaman referred to on the whole as Great Andaman, are the principal islands; others incorporate Landfall Island, Interview Island, the Sentinel Islands (where the Sentinelese clans live), Ritchie's Archipelago, and Rutland Island.

Complete solution:
The Nicobars comprises 19 islands. The Nicobars include 19 islands. Among the most perceptible is Car Nicobar in the north; Camorta, Katchall, and Nancowry in the point of convergence of the chain; and Great Nicobar in the south. Around 90 miles toward the southwest of Great Nicobar lies the northwestern tip of Sumatra, Indonesia.

The 10-degree channel which is around 145 km long isolates Little Andaman in the south from the Nicobar Islands.

Both the Andaman and Nicobar bunches are shaped by the above-ocean augmentations of submarine edges of mountains and are a piece of an extraordinary island circular segment. The most elevated pinnacle is 2,418 feet at Saddle Peak on North Andaman, trailed by Mount Thullier at 2,106 feet on Great Nicobar and Mount Harriet at 1,197 feet on South Andaman. The desolate island, the main known dynamic Volcano in south Asia lies in the Andaman ocean. In the late twentieth and mid 21st hundreds of years, there were volcanic ejections on Barren Island.

Formed of sandstone, limestone, and shale of Cenozoic age (i.e., framed during the previous 65 million years), the territory of the Andamans is harsh, with slopes and limited longitudinal valleys. Level land is scant and is kept to a couple of valleys, for example, the Betapur on Middle Andaman and Diglipur on North Andaman. Enduring streams are not many.


Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Note:
 The landscape of the Nicobar is more assorted than that of the Andamans. A bit of the Nicobar Islands, for instance, Car Nicobar, have level coral-covered surfaces with seaward coral developments that keep most ships from a mooring. Different islands, for example, Great Nicobar, are bumpy and contain various quick streaming streams. Extraordinary Nicobar is the main island in the domain with a lot of new surface water.
