Mont Blanc, e.g.

Answer:

ALP

Hint:

This European peak is part of a mountain range that shares its three-letter name.

Explanation:

"Mont Blanc, e.g." is hinting at a famous example of something—here, a well-known mountain. Mont Blanc is the highest peak in the Alps, so the clue uses it as a stand-in for the entire mountain range. The answer "ALP" is short for "Alps," the European range where Mont Blanc is located. It’s a straightforward example clue where the "e.g." signals you’re looking for the category, not the specific name.
