  4. DShevoroy Hills

Explanation

The Nilgiri Hills serve as the physical junction where the Eastern Ghats and the Western Ghats converge. Located at the borders of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala, these hills act as a connecting link between the two mountain ranges. While the other options are part of the larger mountain systems in Southern India, they do not represent the specific meeting point. For instance, the Anaimalai and Cardamom hills are located further south of the Nilgiris, and the Shevoroy Hills are part of the Eastern Ghats located in Tamil Nadu.
