1)मल्लिकार्जुन / Mallikarjun
2)अमरनाथ / Amarnath✓ Correct
3)रामेश्वर / Rameshwar
4)विश्वेश्वर / Vishweshwar

Out of the 13 listed sites, Amarnath is a famous holy cave shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva, but it is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas or a holy pilgrimage rather than one of the 12 traditional Jyotirlingas.

🏛️ The Maharashtra angle

Four of the 12 Jyotirlingas are located in Maharashtra, which is a favorite MPSC trivia area.
