What is a result of the general eastward slope of the Deccan Plateau?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Most major peninsular rivers flow eastward

Option A is correct because the Deccan Plateau has a general slope toward the east and south-east. Under gravity, many major peninsular rivers consequently flow across the plateau toward the Bay of Bengal, where several form deltas. The Godavari, Krishna, and Cauvery are important examples of east-flowing rivers. The statement does not mean every river flows east: the Narmada and Tapi flow west through structural troughs and enter the Arabian Sea. Thus option B is too absolute. Options C and D are also wrong because the plateau has many rivers and most peninsular rivers do not originate in the Himalayas. The broad drainage pattern is therefore eastward.
