C
Correct answer
Explanation
Darjeeling is the correct answer. This West Bengal town is world-famous for its tea plantations and offers spectacular views of Kanchenjunga (third-highest peak) and on clear days, Mount Everest. Siliguri is a plains commercial hub, not a hill station. Midnapore and Malda are historical towns in the plains of West Bengal with no tea industry or mountain views.
