The sequence Konkan Kannad and Malabar correctly represents which coastal division?

Correct answer: North south division of the western coastal plain

The direct answer is A: Konkan, Kannad and Malabar are parts of the western coastal plain arranged broadly from north to south. A coastal plain is the low land beside a sea. India’s western coastal plain lies between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats and is divided into regional sections. Step by step: identify the three names; place them on the western, Arabian Sea side of India; read their broad north-to-south sequence; conclude that they describe the western coastal division. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because the eastern coastal plain is associated with broad deltas of rivers such as the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri, not this sequence. Option C concerns Himalayan height zones, far from the coast. Option D concerns desert dunes in the Thar, also unrelated. The exact naming can vary slightly between textbooks, but the intended school-geography classification is clearly the western coastal plain. Memory cue: Arabian Sea side—Konkan, Kannad, Malabar.
