Answer: (A) Saddle Peak

Saddle Peak (732 m) in North Andaman is the highest point of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Mount Diavolo is in Middle Andaman, Mount Harriet in South Andaman, and Mount Thullier (642 m) on Great Nicobar is the highest in the Nicobar group. Car Nicobar is an island, not a peak. The Ten Degree Channel separates the Andaman group from the Nicobar group.
