Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

Namcha Barwa is the easternmost major peak of the Himalayas, located in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.

  • It marks the eastern end of the Himalayan range near the great bend of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (B) Annapurna – Located in Nepal, much further west.
  • (C) Kanchenjunga – Eastern Nepal and Sikkim, but west of Namcha Barwa.
  • (D) Mt. Everest – Located on the Nepal-Tibet border, west of Namcha Barwa.

Hence, the easternmost peak of the Himalayas is Namcha Barwa.
