Explanation
The correct answer is C because the Ajanta range is located entirely within the state of Maharashtra.
The other mountain ranges mentioned span multiple states as follows:
Aravalli ranges extend across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi.
Satpura ranges stretch across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.
Sahyadri, also known as the Western Ghats, runs through Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu.
Since the Ajanta range is the only one confined to a single state, it is the correct choice.
