In which of the following regions of the Andaman and Nicobar islands is the…

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are divided into distinct geographic regions — the Andaman group consists of North Andaman, Middle Andaman, and South Andaman, while the Nicobar group (including Great Nicobar) lies further south. Each region has its own prominent landmarks within this hilly, forested archipelago of volcanic-tectonic origin.

Saddle Peak rises to 732 metres, making it the highest point of the entire Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It is situated within Saddle Peak National Park in the North Andaman region, near the town of Diglipur.

Comparing the other regions confirms this placement:

• South Andaman houses Sri Vijaya Puram (formerly Port Blair), the union territory's capital, and the hill point of Mount Manipur (formerly Mount Harriet) — a separate location from Saddle Peak.

• Middle Andaman contains Rangat town and the Interview Island Wildlife Sanctuary, along the archipelago's central stretch.

• Great Nicobar, the southernmost major island of the Nicobar group, is home to Mount Thullier (642 m) — the highest point of the Nicobar Islands, but a distinct peak in a different island group.

Since Saddle Peak lies specifically within the North Andaman region, North Andaman is the correct answer.
