Answer 1

Hint: Padum is the administrative capital (former Capital of Zanskar). Zanskar was once a component of the kingdom of Guge in Western Tibet, along with the neighbouring area of Ladakh. On NH301, Zanskar is 250 kilometers south of Kargil.

Complete answer:
The Zanskar Range is a mountain range that separates Zanskar and Ladakh in the union territory of Ladakh. The Zanskar Range is part of the Tethys Himalaya, a 100-km-wide synclinorium produced by poorly metamorphosed sedimentary layers that are highly folded and imbricated. The Zanskar Range is around 6,000 meters high on average (19,700 ft). Rupsh is the name given to the eastern half of the city.

Zanskar, also known as Zahar or Zanskar, is a tehsil in the Kargil district of India's Ladakh union region.
Zanskar, a pass-bound kingdom, is a mysterious location, with yogins, Buddhist gompas, and kings who are direct descendants of Tibet's early kings. It is located just north of the Greater Himalaya and is near Mount Nun, Ladakh's highest summit at 7,135 meters/23,410 feet, which we will trek past.

Zanskar is a location in the Kargil district of Jammu and Kashmir, India's northwestern state. Padum is the administrative capital. Zanskar, along with the neighbouring Ladakh region, was once part of Guge, or Western Tibet.

Hence the correct option is ‘A’ i.e, Jammu and Kashmir.

Note: Zanskar is situated in Kargil district. Padum administrative and former capital of Zanskar. Zanskar is one of the coldest places and has the smallest population. The lofty, majestic mountains and terrain of Zanskar are well-known. Zanskar is one of Jammu and Kashmir's least-visited regions.
