C Correct answer
Explanation

K2, at 8,611 meters, is the second-highest peak in the world and taller than Kanchenjunga (8,586 meters). Kanchenjunga is actually the third-highest peak globally. Annapurna I (8,091 meters) and Dhaulagiri I (8,167 meters) are both significantly shorter than Kanchenjunga. K2 is located in the Karakoram range on the China-Pakistan border, not in the Himalayas proper.
