`Saddle Peak` is the highest point of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India. The peak stands at a height of about 732 meters.
Option 1 suggests that the peak is located on Great Nicobar, but this option is incorrect as the peak is not found there. Option 2 proposes Middle Andaman, which again, is not correct. Similarly, option 3, Little Andaman, is incorrect as well.
Option 4, North Andaman, is indeed the correct location of Saddle Peak. The location is widely known for its lush green environment and is considered a major tourist spot, thus makes option 4 the correct answer to this question.
