Answer 1

Hint: It has three peaks, called Kibo, Mawenzi and Shira, the tallest of which is Kibo.
It is one of the seven summits (the highest summits on seven continents) and is situated in East Africa in Tanzania. It is a dormant volcano also.

Complete answer:
Mount Kilimanjaro rises to 5,895 m*19,340 feet) above sea level, the tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing peak in the world. Towering above the plains, the three peaks of the mountains are covered with a variety of vegetation, from the lower slopes' rainforests to the alpine vegetation that exists just below the glacier peaks. It is part of the National Park of Kilimanjaro and is a major destination for climbing. It has been the focus of many scientific studies due to its shrinking glaciers and disappearing ice fields
Now lets see the options :-
Kenya :- Mt.kenya is 5195m high which is second highest in Africa thus this option is wrong.
Atlas :-Nyasa :- Nyasa is not even a mountain thus this option is wrong too.
Kilimanjaro :- Kilimanjaro is 5895m high which is the highest in Africa thus this option is right.

Hence the correct answer is option D.
