Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Meghalaya.

The magnificent Krem Puri, the world’s longest sandstone cave (approx. 24.6 km), was discovered in Meghalaya, specifically in the East Khasi Hills district near the village of Laitsohum, close to Mawsynram—often described as the wettest place on Earth. This remarkable find, first identified in 2016 and mapped in an expedition by the Meghalaya Adventurers’ Association (MAA), revealed its full extent by early 2018. As a sandstone cave, Krem Puri stands out in its global uniqueness, lying deep within the state’s limestone‐rich cave systems
