Which evidence is most suitable to prove the discontinuous nature of the Eastern Ghats?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rivers like Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, and Cauvery cut them

The governing concept is how river erosion and incision create gaps in a mountain chain. The Eastern Ghats are not one unbroken wall because several major east-flowing peninsular rivers cross them, including the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery. Their courses divide the range into separate sections, making option C the strongest direct evidence of discontinuity. Connection with the Himalayas is not the defining fact and is geographically misleading. The Thar Desert is a separate arid region, and the Eastern Ghats are not completely snow-covered. The conclusion follows from physical observation: if large rivers cut through a range at multiple places, the range appears broken rather than continuous.
