______ is the only active volcano in India.
- a.Andaman Island
- b.Nicobar Island
- c.Barren Island
- d.Pamban Island
Answer: (C) Barren Island
Barren Island in the Andaman Sea, north-east of Port Blair, is the only active volcano of India; it has erupted several times since 1991. Narcondam, also in the Andamans, is a dormant volcano. Pamban (Rameswaram) Island lies between India and Sri Lanka in Tamil Nadu, and 'Andaman Island' and 'Nicobar Island' are island groups, not volcanoes.
