Answer 1

Hint: Hills are small mountains, usually less than six hundred metre above sea level. They have gentle slopes and rounded peaks. They may form part of plains, plateaus, or mountains.

Complete answer: Range is a group of hills and mountains. Satpura is also a range.The Satpura range is one of the ranges that cut across the Peninsular Plateau in the north and the south,respectively.The Satpura ranges run almost parallel to the Vindhyas. The Narmada river in their north separates them from Vindhyas. The Vindhayas and the Satpura Hill Ranges divide the Peninsular Plateau into two parts, the Central Highlands and the Deccan Plateau. So the Satpura range is part of the Deccan Plateau. Sat means seven and pura for mountains. Satpura range is a group of seven hills. Madhya Pradesh has satpura hills.

Additional Information:
Block mountains are formed when two pieces of the crust move away from each other to form cracks in the Earth’s surface. These cracks are called faults. The crust lying between the faults may subside to form a valley called a rift valley or garden. Simultaneously, the adjoining masses of rock may be lifted above the neighbouring area to form mountains called block mountains. The Vosges and the Black forest mountains of Europe are block mountains.

So the correct answer is (D).

Note: Satpura hills are block mountains. Block mountains also called horst. Rift valley is also known as graben. Dhupgarh is the highest peak of Satpura ranges. Satpura ranges parallel to Tapi garden in the South.
