What type of physical feature is Palk Strait?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Shallow sea passage between India and Sri Lanka

Direct answer: Option A, a shallow sea passage between India and Sri Lanka. The Palk Strait is a narrow and relatively shallow stretch of sea between the southeastern coast of India, especially Tamil Nadu, and northern Sri Lanka. A strait is a water passage connecting larger water bodies or separating landmasses; it is not a mountain pass or a landform made of sand or lava. Option A therefore correctly identifies both its location and nature. Option B is wrong because a snowy Himalayan pass is a high mountain route, not a sea passage. Option C is wrong because a sandy dune is a wind-built landform of a desert such as the Thar. Option D is wrong because the Deccan Plateau is a broad elevated landform made largely of basaltic lava, not a narrow marine channel. Memory cue: Palk = water between Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka.
