13. What does the expression "pitching the highest camp" imply? [2011-II]

1. (a) They reached the summit of the highest mountain in the world.
2. (b) Those who climbed that far earlier did not pitch any camp.
3. (c) So far nobody has ever climbed that high.
4. (d) They were too many climbers and needed to pitch a big camp.

Correct Answer: (c) So far nobody has ever climbed that high.
Note:
It can't be the summit because they are talking about the highest camp that has ever been made (by humans). (b) is also inappropriate. And (d) is an absurd statement. (c) is the right choice.
