Which idea best explains the peninsular origin of the Meghalaya Plateau?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is a north-eastern plateau part separated beyond the Rajmahal-Garo gap

The governing concept is the geological continuity and fragmentation of the ancient Peninsular Plateau. The Meghalaya Plateau, including the Garo, Khasi and Jaintia Hills, is generally regarded as a detached north-eastern extension of the Peninsular Plateau. It became separated from the main plateau region by the zone around the Rajmahal-Garo gap, while later erosion shaped its present relief. Hence option B best explains its peninsular origin. It is not a coastal segment of the Western Ghats, the highest Himalayan range, or a sandy plateau of the Thar Desert. The answer depends on geological relationship and location, not merely on the word “plateau” or on present-day height.
