Right Option : C

Explanation

The Shivalik Hills are not found in the district of Sirsa. The Shivalik range primarily runs through the northern states of India, including parts of Haryana (Ambala, Panchkula, Yamunanagar), Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. Sirsa, however, is located in the southern part of Haryana, and the Shivalik Hills do not extend to this region.

The Shivalik Hills, also known as the Outer Himalayas, are a range of mountains that extend across parts of northern India, Nepal, and Bhutan. In India, they cover areas of states like Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, and parts of Uttar Pradesh. These hills are the southernmost range of the greater Himalayan mountain system.

Now, let's break down each district mentioned:

Ambala - Located in Haryana, Ambala is situated close to the Shivalik Hills, as they extend into the northern parts of Haryana. Therefore, Ambala is part of the Shivalik region.
Panchkula - Also in Haryana, Panchkula lies near the foothills of the Shivalik range, which again places it in the area influenced by the Shivaliks.
Yamunanagar - This district in Haryana is situated near the foothills of the Shivalik range, making it part of the region covered by the Shivaliks.
Sirsa - Sirsa is located in the southwestern part of Haryana, and it is far from the Shivalik Hills. This district is part of the plains and not close to the mountain range.

Thus, Sirsa is the correct answer because it is geographically located far from the Shivalik Hills, while the other districts are situated in or near the range.

Ambala, Panchkula, and Yamunanagar are all districts in Haryana that are part of or very close to the Shivalik Hills, as they are located in the northern or northeastern parts of the state, which are near the foothills of the Himalayas.
