If an area has volcanic lava rocks and black soil, it is more associated with which Indian plateau?

Deccan Plateau

The governing concept is the relationship between geological parent rock and soil formation. Much of the Deccan Plateau is covered by basaltic lava flows associated with ancient volcanic activity, commonly called the Deccan Traps. Weathering of this basalt produced regur, or black cotton soil, which is clay-rich and can retain moisture. Therefore, option B is the correct association. The Meghalaya Plateau is mainly linked with ancient crystalline rocks and has a different regional setting. The Ladakh Plateau is a high, cold mountain plateau with distinct arid conditions, not the classic basalt-and-regur association. Bundelkhand contains mainly old crystalline rocks and does not represent the standard volcanic-lava and black-soil pair used in school geography.
