The hard rocky and eroded surface of Bundelkhand Plateau is related to what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Long-term erosion
The governing concept is geomorphic evolution through weathering and erosion. The Bundelkhand Plateau is an old, stable part of the Peninsular Plateau, built largely of hard crystalline rocks. Over a very long geological period, running water, weathering, and other erosional forces removed softer material and exposed the resistant rock surface. Thus option B correctly explains its rugged and eroded appearance. Coral growth belongs to shallow marine environments, glacial deposition is associated with glaciers and their sediments, and sea tides affect coasts rather than this inland plateau. The clue is the combination of ancient hard rock and prolonged denudation.
