From north to south the sequence is: Mahadeo Hills (northern section of the Satpuras, around 22-23° N), Satpura Range proper (south of Mahadeo but still in central India), and then Sahyadri Parvat (Western Ghats) which run southward from the Tapti valley. This gives the order 1-3-2, i.e., option (c). Other orders place the Western Ghats too far north or mis-order the Satpura components.
