How should the relation of the Meghalaya Plateau with the Peninsular Plateau be understood?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is an isolated peninsular plateau part in the north-east

The Meghalaya Plateau is not a Himalayan fold, coastal plain, or sandy part of the Thar Desert. It is regarded as a detached extension of the ancient Peninsular Plateau in north-eastern India. Geological and geographical descriptions commonly treat it as a separate block because it is isolated from the main peninsular plateau by surrounding lowlands and river valleys.

The plateau includes the Garo, Khasi, and Jaintia Hills. Although it lies in the north-east, its old plateau character connects it with the Peninsular Plateau rather than with the young folded Himalayas. Thus option B is correct. The word isolated means geographically separated or detached; it does not mean unrelated in geological origin.
