How is the Narmada Valley placed with reference to Vindhya and Satpura?

Correct answer: Between Vindhya and Satpura

Option A is correct because the Narmada Valley lies between the Vindhya Range to the north and the Satpura Range to the south in central India. The Narmada flows generally westward through a structural trough or rift valley before entering the Arabian Sea. This position is an important feature of the physiography of the Peninsular Plateau. Option B places the valley in the wrong broad region, while option C incorrectly associates it with the Eastern Ghats and option D places it in northeastern India. The question asks for the valley’s relationship to two ranges, and the established geographical description is ‘between Vindhya and Satpura.’
