Explanation

The correct sequence from north to south is Nallamalai Hills, Javadi Hills, Nilgiri Hills, and Anaimalai Hills. Nallamalai Hills are located in the state of Andhra Pradesh, making them the northernmost in this list. Javadi Hills are situated in the northern part of Tamil Nadu, south of the Nallamalai range. Nilgiri Hills are located further south at the junction of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala. Anaimalai Hills, also known as the Elephant Mountains, are located south of the Nilgiri Hills, primarily along the border of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Therefore, the geographical arrangement starting from the north and moving towards the south matches Option C.
