Which one of the following is not a mountain peak of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands?

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands feature several prominent peaks, including Saddle Peak (738 m) in North Andaman, which is the highest point of the archipelago [2]. Other significant peaks include Mount Thuillier (642 m) on Great Nicobar Island and Mount Diavolo (515 m) in Middle Andaman [1]. Mount Harriet and Mount Koyob are also part of this island chain [1]. In contrast, Lhotse Peak is the fourth highest mountain in the world, standing at 8,516 meters. It is located in the Himalayas on the border between Nepal and Tibet, adjacent to Mount Everest [2]. Therefore, Lhotse is not a mountain peak of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, as it belongs to the Great Himalayan range rather than the volcanic and sedimentary island topography of the Bay of Bengal.
