Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is option 1 i.e Assam. The part of the Himalayas lying between Tista and Dihang rivers is known as Assam Himalayas. Assam Himalaya is the eastern part of the Greater Himalaya. Important peaks in Assam Himalaya are Kula, Gyala Peri, Chamo, and Kangto.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Kali and Teesta rivers divide the Nepal Himalayas and the part lying between Teesta and Dihang rivers is known as Assam Himalayas.
Detailed explanation-3: -The mountains run eastward for 450 miles (720 km) from the upper Tista River in the west to the great southward bend of the Brahmaputra River (there called the Tsangpo River) in the east.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Brahmaputra is a trans-boundary river which flows through Tibet, Northeastern India, and Bangladesh. It is also known as the Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibetan, the Siang/Dihang River in Arunachali, Luit in Assamese, and Jamuna River in Bangla.
Detailed explanation-5: -It is located in the eastern side. The name “Assam Himalaya” is misleading, as some parts of this range are in southeastern Tibet, while other parts are in Bhutan and the Indian regions and states of northern Assam, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh.
