A Correct answer
Explanation

Niyamgiri hills in Odisha was the site of Vedanta's proposed bauxite mining project, which faced massive opposition from local tribal communities due to environmental and cultural concerns. The Supreme Court ultimately banned the mining in 2013, upholding the rights of the Dongria Kondh tribe. The other options are different hill ranges in India - Nilgiri in Tamil Nadu/Kerala, Aravali in Rajasthan, and Nandi in Karnataka.
