The Eastern Ghats are more broken compared to which Ghats?

Correct answer: Western Ghats

The correct answer is the Western Ghats. The Eastern Ghats are discontinuous and irregular because several major rivers, including the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri, have cut across them on their way to the Bay of Bengal. In contrast, the Western Ghats form a more continuous escarpment along the western edge of the Deccan Plateau, although they too contain passes and local breaks. Shiwalik and Pir Panjal are Himalayan ranges, while the Aravalli is an old, separate range of northwestern India. The comparison in the question is therefore specifically between the two coastal-edge ghats, making option B correct.
