What is the correct reason for calling the Peninsular Plateau an ancient, stable physiographic unit of India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is a wide landmass made of old hard crystalline rocks.

The Peninsular Plateau is one of India’s oldest geological landmasses. It is built mainly of ancient, hard, crystalline igneous and metamorphic rocks that have remained comparatively stable for a very long period. Its broad uplands, residual hills and mineral-rich areas reflect this old geological foundation. Therefore, option A gives the correct reason. The Ganga Plain is a much younger depositional surface made largely of river-borne alluvium; a coral reef is a marine biological formation, and complete glacial cover is characteristic of neither the Peninsular Plateau nor most of India. The Himalayas, in contrast, are geologically younger and tectonically active fold mountains.
