A Correct answer
Explanation

The Nilgiri Hills in South India are literally named 'Nilgiri' meaning 'Blue Mountains' in Tamil/Malayalam due to the characteristic blue haze created by eucalyptus trees in the region. Simla (Shimla) is known as the 'Queen of Hills,' Kodaikanal is the 'Princess of Hill Stations,' and Coorg is called the 'Scotland of India' - none share the Blue Mountains epithet.
